BioSecure Multimodal Evaluation Campaign 2007 (BMEC’2007)

This chapter presents the experimental results from the mobile scenario of the BioSecure Multimodal Evaluation Campaign 2007 (BMEC’2007). This competition was organized by the BioSecure Network of Excellence (NoE) and aimed at testing the robustness of monomodal and multimodal biometric verification systems to degraded acquisition conditions. The database used for the evaluation is the large-scale multimodal database acquired in the framework of the BioSecure NoE in mobility conditions. During this evaluation, the BioSecure benchmarking methodology was followed to enable a fair comparison of the submitted algorithms. In this way, we believe that the BMEC’2007 database and results will be useful both to the participants and, more generally, to all practitioners in the field as a benchmark for improving methods and for enabling evaluation of algorithms.
