Abstract

Fused hidden Markov models (FHMMs) have been shown to work well for the task of audio-visual speaker recognition, but only in an output decision-fusion configuration of both the audio- and video-biased versions of the FHMM structure. This paper looks at the performance of the audioand video-biased versions independently, and shows that the audio-biased version is considerably more capable for speaker recognition. Additionally, this paper shows that by taking advantage of the temporal relationship between the acoustic and visual data, the audio-biased FHMM provides better performance at less processing cost than best-performing output decision-fusion of regular HMMs.
