He is a fellow of the National Academy of Engineering, India and National Academy of Sciences, India. He was the head of the Machine Intelligence Unit, ISI from 2005 to 2010.
He has 6 US Patents, 2 EU Patents and 2 International Patents for his works on Image retrieval using distance measure, Architecture for processing fingerprint images, Finger print minutiae Matching using Scoring Techniques, A method for block based digital image watermarking' etc. He has published quality papers in select top journals like: Computer Vision and Image Understanding, IEEE Trans. on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, IEEE Trans. on Image Processing, IEEE Trans. on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics-B, Pattern Recognition, IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks etc. He has also edited 4 books.
He is presently the Professor In-charge of the Computer and Communication Sciences Division of ISI.
Title: Face Recognition using Set Estimation Procedure
Abstract: Most of the conventional face recognition algorithms are dissimilarity based, and for the sake of open and closed test classification one needs to put a proper threshold on the dissimilarity value. On the basis of the decision threshold, a biometric recognition system should be in a position to accept the query image as client or reject him as imposter. However, the selection of proper threshold of a given class in a dataset is an open question, as it is related to the difficulty levels dictated in face recognition problems. In this talk we shall describe a thresholding technique for a real life scenario where the query face image may not be present in the training database, i.e. often referred by the biometric researchers as the open test identification. The theoretical basis of the thresholding technique and its corresponding verification on several datasets has been successfully demonstrated here. The proposed threshold selection is based on statistical method of set estimation and is guided by minimal spanning tree. It has been found that the proposed technique performs better than the ROC curve based threshold selection mechanism.
