On Optimisation of Smart Card Face Verification Systems

The optimisation of a smart card face verification system (SCFVS) design is a complex task. As the parameters involved are not independent, the search space is of exponential complexity. We investigate simplified optimisation strategies and demonstrate that both system performance and speed of access can be improved by jointly optimised parameter setting and level of probe compression. Experimental results suggest that the choice of one strategy over another is a matter of the amount of time available for the system design, system performance and response time.
