About this eTextbook
. This book presents a novel method of multimodal biometric fusion using a random selection of biometrics, which covers a new method of feature extraction, a new framework of sensor-level and feature-level fusion. Most of the biometric systems presently use unimodal systems, which have several limitations.
Multimodal systems can increase the matching accuracy of a recognition system. This monograph shows how the problems of unimodal systems can be dealt with efficiently, and focuses on multimodal biometric identification and sensor-level, feature-level fusion. It discusses fusion in biometric systems to improve performance. • Presents a random selection of biometrics to ensure that the system is interacting with a live user. • Offers a compilation of all techniques used for unimodal as well as multimodal biometric identification systems, elaborated with required justification and interpretation with case studies, suitable figures, tables, graphs, and so on. • Shows that for feature-level fusion using contourlet transform features with LDA for dimension reduction attains more accuracy compared to that of block variance features. • Includes contribution in feature extraction and pattern recognition for an increase in the accuracy of the system. • Explains contourlet transform as the best modality-specific feature extraction algorithms for fingerprint, face, and palmprint.
