This report is intended to provide an understanding of the benefits and limitations of biometric-based technologies. It also includes information on existing privacy and security methodologies for assessing biometrics. It has been revised to take into account comments received from delegates following the October 2003 WPISP meeting in Oslo. The report has also been updated in a few areas. The r...

This paper deals with the computation of robust iris templates from video sequences. The main contribution is to propose (i) optimal tracking and robust detection of the pupil, (ii) smart selection of iris images to be enrolled, and (iii) multi-thread and quality-driven decomposition of tasks to reach real-time processing. The evaluation of the system was done on the Multiple Biometric Grand Ch...

his paper reviews Biometric based Speaker Recognition and presents brief about various algorithms and techniques used at various stages of Speaker Recognition and development of Attendance System as application of Speaker Recognition. The research is being carried out in this area for many years. However, the accuracy of system depends upon speaker’s variability and environmental conditions. Va...

Single biometric modality recognition is not able to meet the high performance supplies in most cases with its application become more and more broadly. Multimodal biometrics identification represents an emerging trend recently. This paper investigates a novel algorithm based on fusion of both fingerprint and fingervein biometrics. For both biometric recognition, we employ the Monogenic Local B...

In identity management system, commonly used biometric recognition system needs attention towards issue of biometric template protection as far as more reliable solution is concerned. In view of this biometric template protection algorithm should satisfy security, discriminability and cancelability. As no single template protection method is capable of satisfying the basic requirements, a novel...

This paper proposes an enhanced method for personal authentication based on finger Knuckle Print using Gabor transform. In study shows that finger knuckle print (FKP) technique of a person can be used as a biometric trait in a biometric authentication system due to its uniqueness property. Hand-based person recognition provides a reliable, in low-cost and user-friendly viable solution for a ran...

Face Recognition is having the importance to provide biometric authentication with easy image acquisition that can be used for online and offline applications. There are number of existing approaches for biometric facial recognition and classification. In this paper, some of the common and reliable approaches for facial recognition are explored. These approaches include PCA, LDA, KDA, Neural Ne...

Ear biometric recognition is used in a lot of applications as person identification in criminal cases, investigation, and security purpose. Feature optimization stage has an important role for accuracy of correct recognition. Gabor filter have a problem of high dimension and high redundancy. Sampling filter is a problem of not reducing features optimum way. In the proposed Gabor feature extract...

Person identification and verification using biometric methods is getting more and more important in today’s information society. Hand recognition is a promising biometric because of its simplicity and fairly good performance of verification. In this work, implicit polynomials, which have proven to be very successful in object modeling and recognition, have been proposed for recognizing hand sh...

A biometric system provides automatic identification of an individual based on a unique feature or characteristic possessed by the individual. Iris recognition is regarded as the most reliable and accurate biometric identification system available. Iris recognition systems capture an image of an individual's eye, the iris in the image is then segmented and normalized for feature extraction proc...
