Abstract

The integration of multiple classifiers promises higher classification accuracy and robustness than can be obtained with a single classifier. This paper proposes a new adaptive technique for classifier integration based on a linear combination model. The proposed technique is shown to exhibit robustness to a mismatch between test and training conditions. It often outperforms the most accurate of the fused information sources. A comparison between adaptive linear combination and non-adaptive Bayesian fusion shows that, under mismatched test and training conditions, the former is superior to the latter in terms of identification accuracy and insensitivity to information source distortion
