DESCRIPTION OF TouchDB_ BENCHMARK

This Matlab code includes the algorithms necessary to reproduce the benchmark evaluated in [1]. The benchmark is composed by: 1) Experiments with statistical and discriminative methods for touch biometrics, including a novel architecture that independently processes touch patterns of different orientation; 2) the contents of four touchscreen biometrics databases [2-5].

Figure 1 shows the architecture of the two methods evaluated based on SVM and GMMs. For further information on the methods, we refer the reader to [1].
