X-Fusion: Introducing New Modality to Frozen Large Language Models
Sicheng Mo, Thao Nguyen, Xun Huang +9
We propose X-Fusion, a framework that extends pretrained Large Language Models (LLMs) for multimodal tasks while preserving their language capabilities. X-Fusion employs a dual-tow…
Generating Realistic Forehead-Creases for User Verification via Conditioned Piecewise Polynomial Curves
Abhishek Tandon, Geetanjali Sharma, Gaurav Jaswal +2
We propose a trait-specific image generation method that models forehead creases geometrically using B-spline and Bézier curves. This approach ensures the realistic generation of…
Impact of Iris Pigmentation on Performance Bias in Visible Iris Verification Systems: A Comparative Study
Geetanjali Sharma, Abhishek Tandon, Gaurav Jaswal +2
Iris recognition technology plays a critical role in biometric identification systems, but their performance can be affected by variations in iris pigmentation. In this work, we in…
Synthetic Forehead-creases Biometric Generation for Reliable User Verification
Abhishek Tandon, Geetanjali Sharma, Gaurav Jaswal +2
Recent studies have emphasized the potential of forehead-crease patterns as an alternative for face, iris, and periocular recognition, presenting contactless and convenient solutio…
