Multimodal Biometric System for User Authentication with Fuzzy Fusion of Face and Fingerprint

Abstract—The vast majority of the successful commercial biometric systems at present depend on fingerprint or face. Moreover, these biometric indicators complement one another in their strengths and advantages. While fingerprint gives exceptionally high verification precision, but still carry some verification errors. The Face recognition is second most preferred method with reasonably good accuracy. In this paper, integration of face and fingerprint recognition techniques using fuzzy fusion method is detailed. The introductory results are promising and indicate that the fusion of face recognition and fingerprint methods further improves the accuracy of the user identification system.
