Abstract: The present invention discloses a human identification system by fusion of face recognition and speaker recognition, a method and a service robot thereof. The system fuses results of the face recognition and the speaker recognition, and further uses confidence index to estimate the confidence level of the two recognition results. If only one of the confidence indices of the two recognition results reaches the threshold, then only this result is used as the output. If both confidence indices of the two recognition results reach the threshold, then the two recognition results are fused to output as a final result.
