This study investigates the use of ear as a biometric for authentication and shows experimental results obtained on a newly created dataset of 420 images. Images are passed to a quality module in order to reduce False Rejection Rate. The Principal Component Analysis (“eigen ear”) approach was used, obtaining 90.7 % recognition rate. Improvement in recognition results is obtained when ear biomet...

In recent years, iris recognition has become a popular recognition system as compare to the existing systems. It is an important biometric method for human identification with high accuracy. It is the most reliable and accurate biometric identification system available today. The most popular biometric types are: signature, face, iris, finger prints, hand and voice. Among all these biometric te...

Biometric system is a technology for identification or authentication of a living person grounded on a behavioral or physiological characteristic. There are so many biometric systems like fingerprints, voice, gait, iris etc. Other identification systems are available like PIN, password etc Among these biometric authentication system, iris identification has got increasing tending due to its hig...

Iris recognition technologies are deployed in numerous large-scale nation-wide projects in order to provide robust and reliable biometric recognition of individuals. Moreover, the iris has been found to be rather stable over time, i.e. iris biometric reference data provides a strong and permanent link between individuals and their biometric traits. Hence, unprotected storage of (iris) biometric...

Biometrics is a growing technology, which has been widely used in forensics, secured access and prison security. A biometric system is fundamentally a pattern recognition system that recognizes a person by determining the authentication by using his different biological features i.e. Fingerprint, retina-scan, iris scan, hand geometry, and face recognition are leading physiological biometrics an...

Traditional fingerprint recognition systems require that the users touch a sensor to perform biometric acquisitions. In order to increase the usability, acceptability, and accuracy of fingerprint recognition technologies, touchless systems have recently been studied. With respect to touch-based biometric techniques, these systems present important differences in most of the steps of the recogni...

Iris recognition, a biometric technique used in high profile applications such as border crossing systems, single factor identity verification for the ATM users, India’s Aadhaar project, Airport security. Its robustness and unobtrusiveness make it superior entrant to reinstate most of the security system around. Iris recognition is listed as a high confidence biometric identification system as ...

The term biometrics refers to “automated recognition of individuals based on their behavioral and biological characteristics” (ISO/IEC JTC1 SC37). Several physiological (static) as well as behavioral (non-static) biometric characteristics have been exploited (Jain, Flynn & Ross, 2008) such as fingerprints, iris, face, hand, voice, gait, keystroke dynamics, etc., depending on distinct types of a...

With an increasing emphasis on security, automated personal identification based on biometrics has been receiving extensive attention. Iris recognition, as an emerging biometric recognition approach, is becoming a very active topic in both research and practical applications. In general, a typical iris recognition system includes iris imaging, iris liveness detection, and recognition. This rese...

Multimodal biometric systems utilize multiple biometric sources in order to increase robustness as compared to single biometric system. Most of the biometric systems in real are single or multimodal authentication system. This paper presents an efficient multimodal low resolution face and finger veins biometric recognition system based on class specific liner discriminant to client specific dis...
