Multimodal Biometrics Enhancement Recognition System based on Fusion of Fingerprint and PalmPrint: A Review

This article is an overview of a current multimodal biometrics research based on fingerprint and palm-print. It explains the pervious study for each modal separately and its fusion technique with another biometric modal. The basic biometric system consists of four stages: firstly, the sensor which is used for enrolmen

Fast Learning For Multibiometrics Systems Using Genetic Algorithms

International audienceThe performance (in term of error rate) of biometric systems can be improved by combining them. Multiple fusion techniques can be applied from classical logical operations to more complex ones based on score fusion. In this paper, we use a genetic algorithm to learn the parameters of different multibiometrics fusion functions. We are interested in biometric systems usable on any computer (they do not require specific material). In order to improve the speed of the learning, we defined a fitness function based on a fast Error Equal Rate computing method. Experimental results show that the developed method provides very low error rates while having reasonable computation times. The proposed method opens new perspectives for the development of secure multibiometrics systems with speeding up their computation time
