The biometric-based systems (BMS) have proved enormously superior and accurate authentication mechanism as compared to conventional methods. The accuracy of recognition systems is further enhanced by using multi-modal biometric systems (MBS) with additional cost overhead. The BS based human recognition works by extracting unique feature points from the raw biological trait of the user, captured...

Biometrics refers to a scientific discipline which involves automatic methods for recognizing people based on their physiological or behavioural characteristics. Biometric systems that use a single trait are called unimodal systems, whereas those that integrate two or more traits are referred to as multimodal biometric systems. A multimodal biometric system requires an integration scheme to fus...

Biometrics includes the study of automatic methods for distinguishing human beings based on physical or behavioral traits. The problem of finding good biometric features and recognition methods has been researched extensively in recent years. Our research considers the use of ears as a biometric for human recognition. Researchers have not considered this biometric as much as others, which inclu...

To ensure the actual presence of a real legitimate trait in contrast to a fake self-manufactured synthetic or reconstructed sample is a significant problem in biometric authentication, which requires the development of new and efficient protection measures. In this paper, we present a novel software-based fake detection method that can be used in multiple biometric systems to detect different t...

Multimodal biometric authentication systems are now widely used for providing the utmost security owing to its better recognition performance compared to unimodal systems. Multimodal biometric systems are developed by combining the information of individual biometrics. In this paper, a multimodal biometric system is proposed by combining the scores of iris and palm print traits of a person. Thi...

This paper proposes a Biometric identification system for person identification using two biometric traits hand geometry and palm print. The hand image captured from digital camera is preprocessed to identify key points on palm region of hand. Identified key points are used to find hand geometry feature and palm print Region of interest (ROI). The discriminative palm print features are extracte...

Biometric identification systems are principally related to the information security as well as data protection and encryption. The paper proposes a method to integrate biometrics data encryption and authentication into error correction techniques. The normal methods of biometric templates matching are replaced by a more powerful and high quality identification approach based on Grӧbner bases c...

Biometric recognition offers a reliable and natural solution to the problem of user authentication by means of her physical and behavioral traits. An iris template protection scheme which associates and retrieves a secret value with a high level of security, is proposed. The security is guaranteed thanks to the requirements of fuzzy extractors. The implementation of the scheme is done in Java a...

Dynamic signature recognition is one of the commonly used biometric traits. In this paper we propose use of Gabor filters based feature for verification of dynamic signature. We incorporate the timing information available in the signature along with the Gabor filter response to generate the feature vector. Gabor filters have been widely used for image, texture analysis. Here we present analysi...
