Study of a committee of neural networks for biometric hand-geometry recognition

Marcos Faundez-Zanuy

This Paper studies different committees of neural networks for biometric pattern recognition. We use the neural nets as classifiers for identification and verification purposes. We show that a committee of nets can improve the recognition rates when compared with a multi-start initialization algo-rithm that just picks up the neural net which offers the best performance. On the other hand, we found that there is no strong correlation between identifi-cation and verification applications using the same classifier.
