The identification of livestock breed is a necessity for its long-term maintenance and utilisation. Principal component analysis morphometric traits has proved successful reduction in the number features needed morphological evaluation species, which keeps costs down saves time efforts. Eighteen body biometric traits, viz. Height at withers, Leg length, Neck circumference, Body Chest girth, Abd...

The key objective of this paper is to investigate a new biometric identifier for forensic and civilian applications. We propose a novel biometric authentication system based on low resolution finger nail plate images. Despite the uniqueness and high stability of the nail plate, its usage as a biometric identifier has not been extensively investigated for personal authentication. This paper impl...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and biometric technologies saw fast evolutions during the last years and which are used in several applications, such as access control. Among important characteristics in the RFID tags, we mention the limitation of resources (memory, energy, ...). Our work focuses on the design of a RFID authentication protocol which uses biometric data and which confirms ...

In this paper, we propose a priority verification method for multimodal biometric features by using a momentum back-propagation artificial neural network (MBP-ANN). We also propose a personal verification method using both face and speech to improve the rate of single biometric verification. False acceptance rate (FAR) and false rejection rate (FRR) have been a fundamental bottleneck of real-ti...

In applications where components conform to standardized interfaces and functional specifications, it is possible to replace one component with another from a different manufacturer. While conformance to the specifications is a necessary condition for interoperability, it is often not sufficient because the internal algorithmic action of the component is usually not regulated by the standard. T...

Biometrics have a long-held hope of replacing passwords by establishing a non-repudiated identity and providing authentication with convenience. Convenience drives consumers toward biometrics-based access management solutions. Unlike passwords, biometrics cannot be script-injected; however, biometric data is considered highly sensitive due to its personal nature and unique association with user...

The robustness and security of the biometric watermarking approach can be improved by using a multiple watermarking. This multiple watermarking proposed for improving security of biometric features and data. When the imposter tries to create the spoofed biometric feature, the invisible biometric watermark features can provide appropriate protection to multimedia data. In this paper, a biometric...

This paper proposes the noble multimodal biometric system using multiple biometric traits such as face, ear and finger. This combination of multimodal traits is unique combination offering a better authenticity and accuracy than the existing multimodal biometric systems. In this experimentation the discrete wavelet transforms (DWT) is used for extraction of features which is followed by the pri...

Recently, biometric systems have attracted the attention of both academic and industrial communities. Advances in hardware and software technologies have paved the way to such growing interest. Nowadays, efficient and cost-effective biometric solutions are continuously emerging. Fingerprint-based biometric systems have emerged as pioneering commercial applications of biometric systems. Face and...

Robustness of embedded biometric systems is of prime importance with the emergence of fourth generation communication devices and advancement in security systems This paper presents the realization of such technologies which demands reliable and error-free biometric identity verification systems. High dimensional patterns are not permitted due to eigen-decomposition in high dimensional image sp...
