In this paper, a single hidden-layer feedforward fusion network is proposed for face identity verification. Essentially, the feature extraction, matching score calculation and fusion algorithm design steps are integrated and absorbed into a hidden layer of the model. Each hidden node works on the raw face image directly and produces an Euclidean distance based match score within the network. These scores are then incorporated with output weights to produce a fused score at the final stage. Our experimental study conducted using three face databases shows that the proposed model consistently outperforms competing methods.
