Abstract
An integrated, multisensory recognition (identification and verification) system is described. Acoustic features and visual features are integrated in order to identify people or to verify their identities. The integration of the speaker-identification and visual-features-identification functions improves both performance and reliability in the applications envisaged. Various architectures are described for the implementation both of the integration function and of the speaker-recognition and visual-features-recognition functions.
