چکیده

This paper presents a multi-biometric verification system that combines speaker verification, fingerprint verification with face identification. Their respective equal error rates (EER) are 4.3%, 5.1% and the range of (5.1% to 11.5%) for matched conditions in facial image capture. Fusion of the three by majority voting gave a relative improvement of 48% over speaker verification (i.e. the best-performing biometric). Fusion by weighted average scores produced a further relative improvement of 52%. We propose the use of fuzzy logic decision fusion, in order to account for external conditions that affect verification performance. Examples include recording conditions of utterances for speaker verification, lighting and facial expressions in face identification and finger placement and pressure for fingerprint verification. The fuzzy logic framework incorporates some external factors relating to face and fingerprint verification and achieved an additional improvement of 19%.

Fuzzy Fusion in Multimodal Biometric Systems

Multimodal authentication systems represent an emerging trend for information security. These systems could replace conventional mono-modal biometric methods using two or more features for robust biometric authentication tasks. They employ unique combinations of measurable physical characteristics: fingerprint, facial features, iris of the eye, voice print, hand geometry, vein patterns, and so ...

Multimodal Biometric System Fusion Using Fingerprint and Face with Fuzzy Logic

Biometric systems have a variety of problems such as noisy data, non-universality, spoof attacks and unacceptable error rate. These limitations can be solved by deploying multimodal biometric systems. Multimodal biometric systems utilize two or more individual traits, like face, iris, retina and fingerprint. Multimodal biometric systems improve the recognition accuracy more than uni-modal metho...

Robustness of multimodal biometric fusion methods against spoof attacks

In this paper, we address the security of multimodal biometric systems when one of the modes is successfully spoofed. We propose two novel fusion schemes that can increase the security of multimodal biometric systems. The first is an extension of the likelihood ratio based fusion scheme and the other uses fuzzy logic. Besides the matching score and sample quality score, our proposed fusion sche...

Comparative Study of Multimodal Biometric Recognition by Fusion of Iris and Fingerprint

This research investigates the comparative performance from three different approaches for multimodal recognition of combined iris and fingerprints: classical sum rule, weighted sum rule, and fuzzy logic method. The scores from the different biometric traits of iris and fingerprint are fused at the matching score and the decision levels. The scores combination approach is used after normalizati...
