Face and palmprint are two biometric characteristics with the highest user-acceptance. This paper presents techniques used in palmprint and face recognition as well as techniques used in biometric fusion. Some recent research trends directions in palmprint and face recognitions are described, such as the face recognition in video and touchless hand biometrics. Keywords-biometrics; face recognit...

This paper provides an information theoretical description of biometric systems at the system level. A number of basic models to characterize performance of biometric systems are presented. All models compare performance of an automatic biometric recognition system against performance of an ideal biometric system that knows correct decisions. The correct decision can be visualized as an input t...

Many biometric methods are closely connected with methods of pattern recognition and image analysis. The realization of a number of biometric technologies requires using the last achievements in this area. Some elements of technology based on some methods of image analysis are demonstrated by the example of iris person identification. From a position of organizing the educational process, labor...

A wide spectrum of systems require reliable personal recognition schemes to either confirm or determine the identity of an individual person. This paper considers multimodal biometric system and their applicability to access control, authentication and security applications. Strategies for feature extraction and sensor fusion are considered and contrasted. Issues related to performance assessme...

Biometric encryption is the basis for biometric template protection and information security. While existing methods are based on iris or fingerprint modality, face has so far been considered not reliable enough to meet the requirement for error correcting ability. In this paper, we present a novel biometric key binding method based on near infrared (NIR) face biometric. An enhanced BioHash alg...

A wide spectrum of systems requires reliable personal recognition schemes to either confirm or determine the identity of an individual person. This paper considers multimodal biometric systems and their applicability to access control, authentication and security applications. Alternative strategies for feature extraction and sensor fusion are considered and contrasted. Issues related to perfor...

Image enhancement is a primary need for the recognition of different biometrics in biometric-based identification systems. The recognition-rate of a biometric system depends heavily upon the quality of the input biometric given to the system. In this paper, a novel hybrid Fuzzy model (IEHFS) is proposed to improve the visual quality of iris images. The experimental results based on calculating ...

Essentially a biometric system is a pattern recognition system which recognizes a user by determining the authenticity of a specific anatomical or behavioral characteristic possessed by the user. With the ever increasing integration of computers and Internet into daily life style, it has become necessary to protect sensitive and personal data. This paper proposes a multimodal biometric system w...

The password based authorization scheme for all available security systems can effortlessly be hacked by the hacker or a malicious user. One might not be able to guarantee that the person who is using the password is authentic or not. Only biometric systems are one which make offered automated authentication. There are very exceptional chances of losing the biometric identity, only if the accid...
