Integration of face and speaker recognition by subspace method

In this paper, we propose a modified CLAFIC method in face recognition and speaker recognition. This method is derived by modifying a CLAFIC method commonly used in pattern recognition as a subspace method. The modified CLAFIC method translates subspace origin to the centroid of all the training data so that it can discriminate categories more precisely. We carried out face and speaker recognition by this modified CLAFIC method and showed the effectiveness. We also propose in this paper an integrated method of face and speaker recognition results in the subspace method. Input vectors are projected to the face and speaker subspaces, and then their squared lengths of the projected vectors are added. We carried out an integrated experiment of the face and speaker recognition and showed the effectiveness of this method
