Definition
Configuration is to select appropriate parameters and/or fusion rules for an individual user or globally for all users of a system under a specific environmental condition (including the environment, the device, the received data, and the biometric algorithm).
Introduction
A typical biometric system can be divided into two distinct stages [1]: the enrollment stage which includes capture, feature extraction and template generation, and the verification or identification stage which comprises capture, feature extraction, matching and decision, as illustrated in Fig. 1. In the enrollment stage, for each user, a biometric trait is captured and processed to present it with a feature set. Then a template is generated and labeled with the user's identity. In the verification or identification stage the input biometric trait is processed as above and the system outputs the matching score or decision. Each component of the system in the two stages is critical and may...
