Biometric systems have a variety of problems such as noisy data, non-universality, spoof attacks and unacceptable error rate. These limitations can be solved by deploying multimodal biometric systems. Multimodal biometric systems utilize two or more individual traits, like face, iris, retina and fingerprint. Multimodal biometric systems improve the recognition accuracy more than uni-modal metho...

Fingerprints are the most oftenly used biometric feature for a person credentials and verification in the field of biometric identification. Fingerprints possess two main types of features that are used for automatic fingerprint identification and verification. First is the Ridge and Furrow structure that forms a special pattern in the central region of the fingerprint and second is the Minutia...

Biometrics refers to automated recognition of individuals based on their biological and behavioral characteristics. Biometric systems are widely used for security. They are used in forensic and commercial applications. Among all biometric techniques, fingerprint recognition is the most widely used for personal identification systems due to its permanence and uniqueness. But biometric systems ar...

This dissertation describes certain special art of biometric systems. General biometric systems are well known in public and systems based on the fingerprint recognition belong, without question, to the most familiar ones. Fingerprints have been used for identification and authentication for a long time because their uniqueness and reliability have been proven in everyday life. Nowadays, there ...

Biometrics such as fingerprint, face, eye retina, and voice offers means of reliable personal authentication is now a widely used technology both in forensic and civilian domains. Reality, however, makes it difficult to design an accurate and fast biometric recognition due to large biometric database and complicated biometric measures. In particular, fast fingerprint indexing is one of the most...

Biometric is a characteristic measure of a person. Through biometrics a person can be labeled. Fingerprint is a striking biometric which supersedes all other biometrics because of the property of universality and uniqueness. Most of the organizations which are time bound rely largely on fingerprint biometric. It is a known issue that fingerprints are images and manipulating it

Protection of biometric template against spoofing or modification attack at system database is major issue in multibiometric system. Hence fragile digital watermarking technique is one of the solutions for biometric template protection against these attacks. In this paper, fingerprint watermarking technique based on SVD and Compressive Sensing theory proposed for protection of biometric templat...

The survey on palmprint and fingerprint has been investigated over many years. Fingerprint is a popular biometric identification technology and studies are still going on in the palmprint identification. But researches based on the multimodal biometric that combines palmprint and fingerprint technology, which will provide better security and robustness comparing to the stand alone model have no...

While multimodal biometric systems are considered to be more robust than unimodal ones but traditional fusion rules are more sensitive to spoofing attempts. The proposed system is designed to overcome spoofing in worst-case scenario where impostor was able to create fake biometric traits of both face and fingerprint modalities in the presented multimodal biometric system. The paper investigates...

Due to the uniqueness and persistent properties of the biometric fingerprint characteristics, large scale in border control and governmental applications such as the Aadhaar project in India, the Visa Information System (VIS) in Europe and US-VISIT / IDENT system in the USA are based on fingerprint recognition and generally contain millions of fingerprint samples. The study of fingerprint index...
