Outline of Final Research Achievements

We formulated cross-modal discriminant analysis and confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed method compared with existing linear discriminant analysis and canonical correlation analysis through simulation experiments. Moreover, to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method in real problems, we evaluate the performance in cross-modal biometric person authentication. More specifically, we focused on gait modality, which is the main biometric modality for the project integrator, and conducted experiments of cross-modal biometric person authentication against the large intra-class variations such as observation view, walking speed, clothing.
