gb2s μ MOD: A MUltiMODal biometric video database using visible and IR light

“…Nevertheless, despite the initial acceptance in the literature, the usage of synthetically generated users, also known as "chimeric users", was discussed and compared with the use of emerging multimodal biometric databases [3][4][5], concluding that independence assumption does not guarantee the same performance when using "chimeric" than true multimodal users and that the results strongly depend on which traits are selected. According to these studies, a relatively significant number of multimodal biometric databases have appeared in a recent past aimed to provide reliable testing frameworks [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23].…”
