Feature Level Fusion of Face and Fingerprint Biometrics

The aim of this paper is to study the fusion at feature extraction level for face and fingerprint biometrics. The proposed approach is based on the fusion of the two traits by extracting independent feature pointsets from the two modalities, and making the two pointsets compatible for concatenation. Moreover, to handle the problem of curse of dimensionality, the feature pointsets are properly reduced in dimension. Different feature reduction techniques are implemented, prior and after the feature pointsets fusion, and the results are duly recorded. The fused feature pointset for the database and the query face and fingerprint images are matched using techniques based on either the point pattern matching, or the Delaunay triangulation. Comparative experiments are conducted on chimeric and real databases, to assess the actual advantage of the fusion performed at the feature extraction level, in comparison to the matching score level.Comment: 6 pages, 7 figures, conferenc

Efficent Approach Use to Increase accuracy Multimodal Biometric System for Feature Level Fusion

Security system comprised of a single form of biometric information cannot fulfil user’s expectations and may suffer from noisy sensor data, intra and inter class variations and continuous spoof attacks. To overcome some of these problems, multimodal biometric aims at increasing the reliability of biometric systems through utilizing more than one biometric in decision-making process.In this paper we propose a Efficient and Robust Multimodal Biometric System for feature level fusion that combines the information to investigate whether the integration of fingerprints and signatures . Proposed system extracts Gabor texture from the preprocessed fingerprints and signatures sample. The feature vectors attained from different methods are in different sizes and the features from equivalent image may be correlated. Therefore, we proposed wavelet-based fusion techniques. Finally apply neural network’s Cascaded feed forward Back propagation Algorithm to Train Neurons for recognition.proposed approach is authenticated for their accuracy on Fingerprints virtual database fused with signature virtual database of 16 users. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed multimodal biometric system achieves a recognition accuracy of 99.8% and with false rejection rate (FRR) of = 1

Efficient software attack to multimodal biometric systems and its application to face and iris fusion

This is the author’s version of a work that was accepted for publication in Pattern Recognition Letters. Changes resulting from the publishing process, such as peer review, editing, corrections, structural formatting, and other quality control mechanisms may not be reflected in this document. Changes may have been made to this work since it was submitted for publication. A definitive version was subsequently published in Pattern Recognition Letters 36, (2014) DOI: 10.1016/j.patrec.2013.04.029In certain applications based on multimodal interaction it may be crucial to determine not only what the user is doing (commands), but who is doing it, in order to prevent fraudulent use of the system. The biometric technology, and particularly the multimodal biometric systems, represent a highly efficient automatic recognition solution for this type of applications. Although multimodal biometric systems have been traditionally regarded as more secure than unimodal systems, their vulnerabilities to spoofing attacks have been recently shown. New fusion techniques have been proposed and their performance thoroughly analysed in an attempt to increase the robustness of multimodal systems to these spoofing attacks. However, the vulnerabilities of multimodal approaches to software-based attacks still remain unexplored. In this work we present the first software attack against multimodal biometric systems. Its performance is tested against a multimodal system based on face and iris, showing the vulnerabilities of the system to this new type of threat. Score quantization is afterwards studied as a possible countermeasure, managing to cancel the effects of the proposed attacking methodology under certain scenarios.This work has been partially supported by projects Contexts (S2009/TIC-1485) from CAM, Bio-Challenge (TEC2009-11186) and Bio-Shield (TEC2012-34881) from Spanish MINECO, TABULA RASA (FP7-ICT-257289) and BEAT (FP7-SEC-284989) from EU, and Cátedra UAM-Telefónica

Comparison Fusion of Iris and Fingerprint Traits for Personal Authentication using Artificial Neural Network with Previous Algorithm

Biometrics is the science of determining the identity of a person based on the physiological / behavioral characteristics of the individual. A person can be identified by using biometrics based on ‘what you are’ rather than ‘what you possess’ such as ID card or ‘what you remember’ such as password . Biometrics are incorporated in many different applications because of the need for reliable user authentication techniques has increased in the wake of heightened concerns about security, and rapid advances in communication, networking and mobility . A variety of biometric characteristics including face, fingerprint, palm print, iris, retina, signature, gait, ear, hand vein, voice pattern, odor or DNA are being used in various applications. Each biometric has its merits and demerits. Therefore, the selection of a biometric trait depends on several issues other than matching performance

Generic multimodal biometric fusion

Biometric systems utilize physiological or behavioral traits to automatically identify individuals. A unimodal biometric system utilizes only one source of biometric information and suffers from a variety of problems such as noisy data, intra-class variations, restricted degrees of freedom, non-universality, spoof attacks and unacceptable error rates. Multimodal biometrics refers to a system which utilizes multiple biometric information sources and can overcome some of the limitation of unimodal system. Biometric information can be combined at 4 different levels: (i) Raw data level; (ii) Feature level; (iii) Match-score level; and (iv) Decision level. Match score fusion and decision fusion have received significant attention due to convenient information representation and raw data fusion is extremely challenging due to large diversity of representation. Feature level fusion provides a good trade-off between fusion complexity and loss of information due to subsequent processing. This work presents generic feature information fusion techniques for fusion of most of the commonly used feature representation schemes. A novel concept of Local Distance Kernels is introduced to transform the available information into an arbitrary common distance space where they can be easily fused together. Also, a new dynamic learnable noise removal scheme based on thresholding is used to remove shot noise in the distance vectors. Finally we propose the use of AdaBoost and Support Vector Machines for learning the fusion rules to obtain highly reliable final matching scores from the transformed local distance vectors. The integration of the proposed methods leads to large performance improvement over match-score or decision level fusion
