ECG-BASED AUTHENTICATION - Bayesian vs. Nearest Neighbour Classifiers

Carla Oliveira, Ana Fred

2009

Abstract

This paper presents an approach for human authentication based on electrocardiogram (ECG) waveforms. ECG data was collected from 24 individuals during the realization of cognitive tests, where subjects held a surface mount triode placed on the V2 pre cordial derivation. Authentication is based on MAP, One-Class and 1-NN classifiers. Results show that ECG-based authentication may be a feasible tool for biometric systems. The One-Class classifier with class normalization has presented enhanced performance, with an equal error rate of 3.5%.
