Abstract

Two novel variants of Dynamic Link Architecture that are based on mathematical morphology and incorporate coefficients which weigh the contribution of each node in elastic graph matching according to its discriminatory power are developed. They are the so called Morphological Dynamic Link Architecture and the Morphological Signal Decomposition-Dynamic Link Architecture. The proposed variants are tested for face authentication in a cooperative scenario where the candidates claim an identity to be checked. Their performance is evaluated in terms of their Receiver Operating Characteristic and the Equal Error Rate achieved in M2VTS database. An Equal Error Rate in the range 3.7-6.8% is reported.
