A Multimodal Biometric System Using Fingerprint and Face

Biometric identification system, which uses physical or behavioral features to check a person’s identity, ensures much greater security than passwords and number systems. Biometric features such as face or fingerprint can be stored on a microchip in credit card, for example. A single feature, however, sometimes fails to be exact enough to identification. Another disadvantage of using only one feature is that the chosen feature is not always readable; a multi-modal identification that uses two different features face, and fingerprint to identify people. With its two modalities, this achieves much greater accuracy than single-feature systems. Even if one modality is somehow disturbed, the ether one modality still leads to an accurate identification. This article goes into detail about the use of face and fingerprint modalities for identification.
