An Efficient Android-Based Multimodal Biometric Authentication System With Face and Voice

Abstract

Multimodal biometric authentication method can conquer the defects of the unimodal biometric authentication technology. In this paper, we design and develop an efficient Android-based multimodal biometric authentication system with face and voice. Considering the hardware performance restriction of the smart terminal, including the random access memory (RAM), central processing unit (CPU) and graphics processor unit (GPU), etc., which cannot efficiently accomplish the tasks of storing and quickly processing the large amount of data, a face detection method is introduced to efficiently discard the redundant background of the image and reduce the unnecessary information. Furthermore, an improved local binary pattern (LBP) coding method is presented to improve the robustness of the extracted face feature. We also improve the conventional endpoint detection technology, i.e. the voice activity detection (VAD) method, which can efficiently increase the detection accuracy of the voice mute and transition information and boost the voice matching effectiveness. To boost the authentication accuracy and effectiveness, we present an adaptive fusion strategy which organically integrates the merits of the face and voice biometrics simultaneously. The cross-validation experiments with public databases demonstrate encouraging authentication performances compared with some state-of-the-art methods. Extensive testing experiments on Android-based smart terminal show that the developed multimodal biometric authentication system achieves perfect authentication effect and can efficiently content the practical requirements.

Research on Endpoint Detection Algorithm in High Altitude Explosion Point Location Technology

“…The sound signal is a random signal. According to the recommendation in [18], the Hanning window is selected to process the sound signal, the frame length is set to 1024 sampling points, and the frame shift is 512 sampling points.…”

“…The energy of the sound segment is obviously higher than the energy of the noise segment. At the same time, the energy of the sound segment is the sum of the noise energy superimposed on the sound energy [18]. As shown in Figure 3, when the signal-to-noise ratio is very high, only the shortterm average energy can effectively distinguish the sound segment from the background noise segment.…”

Automated detection of COVID-19 from X-ray images using CNN and Android mobile

“…In automatic diagnosis, machine learning-based solutions have gained popularity, and researchers are using them in many health problems (Waring et al 2020 ). Advanced mobile phone technology enables the use of machine learning-based solutions in the mobile phone by which many tasks like face detection (Zhang et al 2020b ), object detection (Zainab 2018 ), and malware detection (Kim et al 2019 ) can be done in the mobile phone. In this research, we developed a CNN model and an Android application to detect COVID-19 from X-ray images on Android mobile.…”

Effective Breast Cancer Recognition Based on Fine-Grained Feature Selection

“…Hence, to alleviate this problem, pathologists and radiologists need a computeraided diagnosis (CAD) system to assist their clinical diagnoses effectively and efficiently. In particular, higher recognition accuracy, a lower false positive rate (FPR), and a lower false negative rate (FNR) can be obtained with the application of state-of-the-art machine-learning technologies, including deep learning [1], [2], [3] computer vision, feature fusion [4], [5], feature selection [6], [7], and ensemble learning [8], [9]. It is known that medical image annotation with high quality usually has a very large economic cost.…”

“…Lower dimensions also improve the running efficiency of the proposed model. (4) The end-to-end online system for effective breast cancer recognition based on the proposed RCA model was optimized further. This can narrow the gap between theoretical research and practical application.…”
