Abstract

In this work, a new set of features is presented for a biometric system based on speech and on-line signature. The feature vector is nonhomogeneous and it comprises using TESPAR DZ coefficients, wavelet energy coefficients and also some additional features resulted from the time domain analysis in the case of speech. A feature selection procedure is then applied to reduce the feature vector dimension. A modified symbols alphabet for the TESPAR DZ method is presented. Experimental results were reported using the SVC2004 database for signature and our own bimodal database BimDB10 (for on-line signature and speech). A feature level fusion strategy was adapted in order to achieve our goals. The results show that the fusion of biometric features brings improvement to the system performance.
