Abstract

Recent research shows that the static and dynamic features of a lip utterance contain abundant identity-related information. In this paper, a new deep convolutional neural network scheme is proposed. The entire lip utterance is first divided into a series of overlapping segments; then an adaptive scheme is designed to automatically examine the discriminative power and assign a corresponding weight of each segment in the entire utterance. The final authentication result of the entire utterance is determined by weighted voting of the results for all the segments. In addition, considering the various lighting condition in the natural environment, an illumination normalization procedure is proposed. Experimental results show that different segments of the same utterance have different discriminative power for user authentication, and focusing on the discriminative details will be more effective. The proposed method has shown superior performance compared with two state-of-the-art lip authentication approaches investigated.
