Composite Kernel Sparse Representation
Another way to combine information of different modalities is through composite
kernel, which efficiently combines kernel for each modality. The kernel combines
both within and between similarities of different modalities. For two modalities with
same feature dimension, the kernel matrix can be constructed as:
x i ,
x j )+ α 2 κ (
x i ,
x j )+ α 3 κ (
x i ,
x j )+ α 4 κ (
x i ,
x j )
κ (
X i ,
X j )= α 1 κ (
, x i being the feature
vector. It can be similarly extended to multiple modalities. However, the modalities
may be of different dimensions. In such cases, cross-simlarity measure is not pos-
sible. Hence, the modalities are divided according to being homogenous (e.g. right
and left iris) or heterogenous (fingerprint and iris). This is also reasonable, because
homogenous modalities are correlated at feature level but heteregenous modalities
may not be correlated. For D modalities, with
x i ; x i ]
{ α
