Abstract

This paper presents a novel approach to estimate (predict) the a priori client decision threshold for biometric recognition systems based on multiple linear regression. Biometric recognition is a complex classification problem where the goal is to classify a pattern (biometric sample) as belonging or not to a certain class (client). As in other pattern recognition problems, a correct estimation of the decision threshold is essential for optimizing the biometric system's performance. Our proposal is tested in biometric signature recognition, estimating thresholds for different system working points. A theoretical and practical performance analysis is presented, including a comparison with the state of the art, showing the advantages, in system performance, of our proposal.
