On the error-reject trade-off in biometric verification systems
Abstract
We address the problem of performance evaluation in biometric verification systems. By formulating the optimum Bayesian decision criterion for a verification system and by assuming the data distributions to be multinormals, we derive two statistical expressions for calculating theoretically the false acceptance and false rejection rates. Generally, the adoption of a Bayesian parametric model does not allow for obtaining explicit expressions for the calculation of the system errors. As far as biometric verification systems are concerned, some hypotheses can be reasonably adopted, thus allowing simple and affordable expressions to be derived. By using two verification system prototypes. Based on hand shape and human face, respectively, we show our results are well founded.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
