Soft Biometrics for Surveillance: An Overview

Abstract: sp005Biometrics is the science of automatically recognizing people based on physical or behavioral characteristics such as face, fingerprint, iris, hand, voice, gait, and signature. More recently, the use of soft biometric traits has been proposed to improve the performance of traditional biometric systems and allow identification based on human descriptions. Soft biometric traits include characteristics such as height, weight, body geometry, scars, marks, and tattoos (SMT), gender, etc. These traits offer sev… Show more

“…Soft biometrics originally described subjects in an absolute semantic space, using categorical labels [37,6,35]. More recent works move towards the use of comparative measurements, able to predict relative attribute strengths of faces and natural scenes [31] and texture [26].…”

“…By collectively reviewing the most significant, prevalent and stable traits from [24,35,37,39], the final soft biometric trait lexicon of 2 global and 10 body soft traits is deduced, seen in Table 1. Ethnicity was excluded as a global soft trait, as Lucas et al argue against separating by ethnicity, stating that it is often misinterpreted when describing low quality images [23].…”

“…Thus, it is essential to understand the limitations of these software in the presence of facial makeup. Thirdly, due to the use of such software in surveillance applications [Reid et al, 2013], anonymous customized advertisement systems 6 and image retrieval systems [Bekios-Calfa et al, 2011], it is imperative that they account for the presence of makeup if indeed they are vulnerable to it. Fourthly, gender and age have been proposed as soft biometric traits in automated biometric systems [Jain et al, 2004].…”
