MAIN PROBLEMS IN BIOMETRIC RECOGNITION

To enhance the recognition performance of the biometric system, this section suggests two advanced biometric recognition technologies, biometric data discrimination and multi-biometric technologies. In biometric data discrimination, we first introduce the fundamental of biometric data discrimination, and then suggest using a family of tensor discriminate analysis to deal with the diversity in forms of biometric data. In multi-biometrics, we introduce three categories of fusion strategies to enhance the performance and reliability of the biometric system.
Besides recognition performance, security and privacy issues should also be taken in account. In terms of security, there are many attacks, such as overplay, database and brute-force attacks, on biometric applications. In terms of privacy, biometric traits may carry additional sensitive personal information. For example, genetic disorders might be inferred from the DNA data used for personal identification.

LINEAR DISCRIMINANT ANALYSIS

Linear discriminates analysis (LDA) method has been widely studied in and successfully applied to biometric recognition such as face, fingerprint, and palm print identification or verification.

The essence of LDA is to construct a linear discriminates criterion which can be used to build a binary classifier or a feature extractor. To differentiate LDA for binary classification from LDA for feature extraction, hereafter we name the former as classification-oriented LDA, and the later feature extraction-oriented LDA.
