Abstract

3D shape-based face recognition algorithms can be improved by using decision-level fusion algorithms. In this work, we present a comparative analysis of various fusion algorithms, and also propose novel ones. The contributions of the paper can be summarized as: i) a through analysis of several decision-level fusion algorithms, ii) a dynamically estimated reliability-assisted fusion schemes, and iii) a novel implementation of LDA-based cascaded serial fusion algorithm. Experiments conducted on the 3D_RMA dataset confirm that serial fusion offers the best solution, and dynamic calculation of reliability estimates improves the accuracy of the standard fusion schemes.
