AbstractRecognizing plant cultivars reliably and efficiently can benefit plant breeders in terms of property rights protection and innovation of germplasm resources. Although leaf image-based methods have been widely adopted in plant species identification, they seldom have been applied in cultivar identification due to the high similarity of leaves among cultivars. Here, we propose an automatic leaf image-based cultivar identification pipeline called MFCIS (Multi-feature Combined Cultivar Identification System), which combines multiple leaf morphological features collected by persistent homology and a convolutional neural network (CNN). Persistent homology, a multiscale and robust method, was employed to extract the topological signatures of leaf shape, texture, and venation details. A CNN-based algorithm, the Xception network, was fine-tuned for extracting high-level leaf image features. For fruit species, we benchmarked the MFCIS pipeline on a sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) leaf dataset with >5000 leaf images from 88 varieties or unreleased selections and achieved a mean accuracy of 83.52%. For annual crop species, we applied the MFCIS pipeline to a soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) leaf dataset with 5000 leaf images of 100 cultivars or elite breeding lines collected at five growth periods. The identification models for each growth period were trained independently, and their results were combined using a score-level fusion strategy. The classification accuracy after score-level fusion was 91.4%, which is much higher than the accuracy when utilizing each growth period independently or mixing all growth periods. To facilitate the adoption of the proposed pipelines, we constructed a user-friendly web service, which is freely available at http://www.mfcis.online.

Fusion Approach

The paper proposes a t-norm-based matching score fusion approach for a multimodal heterogenous biometric recognition system. Two trait-based multimodal recognition system is developed by using biometrics traits like palmprint and face. First, palmprint and face are pre-processed, extracted features and calculated matching score of each trait using correlation coefficient and combine matching scores using t-norm based score level fusion. Face database like Face 94, Face 95, Face 96, FERET, FRGC and palmprint database like IITD are operated for training and testing of algorithm. The results of experimentation show that the proposed algorithm provides the Genuine Acceptance Rate (GAR) of 99.7% at False Acceptance Rate (FAR) of 0.1% and GAR of 99.2% at FAR of 0.01% significantly improves the accuracy of a biometric recognition system. The proposed algorithm provides the 0.53% more accuracy at FAR of 0.1% and 2.77% more accuracy at FAR of 0.01%, when compared to existing works.

Abstract In many biometric applications, limited data speaker verification plays a significant role in practical-oriented systems to verify the speaker. The performance of the speaker verification system needs to be improved by applying suitable techniques to limited data condition. The limited data represent both train and test data duration in terms of few seconds. This article shows the importance of the speaker verification system under limited data condition using feature- and score-level fusion techniques. The baseline speaker verification system uses vocal tract features like mel-frequency cepstral coefficients, linear predictive cepstral coefficients and excitation source features like linear prediction residual and linear prediction residual phase as features along with i-vector modeling techniques using the NIST 2003 data set. In feature-level fusion, the vocal tract features are fused with excitation source features. As a result, on average, equal error rate (EER) is approximately equal to 4% compared to individual feature performance. Further in this work, two different types of score-level fusion are demonstrated. In the first case, fusing the scores of vocal tract features and excitation source features at score-level-maintaining modeling technique remains the same, which provides an average reduction approximately equal to 2% EER compared to feature-level fusion performance. In the second case, scores of the different modeling techniques are combined, which has resulted in EER reduction approximately equal to 4.5% compared with score-level fusion of different features.
