Robustness for Authentication of the Human Using Face, Ear, and Gait Multimodal Biometric System

TL;DR: The novel and imperative biometric feature gait is fused with face and ear biometric features for authentication and to overcome problems of the unimodal biometric recognition system.
Abstract: Biometrics is the science that deals with personal human physiological and behavioral characteristics such as fingerprints, handprints, iris, voice, face recognition, signature recognition, ear recognition, and gait recognition. Recognition using a single trait has several problems and multimodal biometrics system is one of the solutions. In this work, the novel and imperative biometric feature gait is fused with face and ear biometric features for authentication and to overcome problems of the unimodal biometric recognition system. The authors have also applied various normalization methods to sort out the best solution for such a challenge. The feature fusion of the proposed multimodal biometric system has been tested using Min-Max and Z-score techniques. The computed results demonstrate that Z-Score outperforms the Min-Max technique. It is deduced that the Z-score is a promising method that generates a high recognition rate of 95% and a false acceptance rate of 10%.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper adopted the transfer learning convolutional neural network (TL-CNN) approach for implementing the eight-class hybrid multimodal biometric verification system, which is achieved by considering eight different types of biometric datasets, which are the retina, faces, ears, palm print, fingerprint, voice, gait and DNA-based biometric data.

TL;DR: This article goes into detail about the BioID system functions, explaining the data acquisition and preprocessing techniques for voice, facial, and lip imagery data and the classification principles used for optical features and the sensor fusion options.
Abstract: Biometric identification systems, which use physical features to check a person's identity, ensure much greater security than password and number systems. Biometric features such as the face or a fingerprint can be stored on a microchip in a credit card, for example. A single feature, however, sometimes fails to be exact enough for identification. Another disadvantage of using only one feature is that the chosen feature is not always readable. Dialog Communication Systems (DCS AG) developed BioID, a multimodal identification system that uses three different features-face, voice, and lip movement-to identify people. With its three modalities, BioID achieves much greater accuracy than single-feature systems. Even if one modality is somehow disturbed-for example, if a noisy environment drowns out the voice-the ether two modalities still lead to an accurate identification. This article goes into detail about the system functions, explaining the data acquisition and preprocessing techniques for voice, facial, and lip imagery data. The authors also explain the classification principles used for optical features and the sensor fusion options (the combinations of the three results-face, voice, lip movement-to obtain varying levels of security).

TL;DR: Finger-vein and finger shape multimodal biometrics using near-infrared (NIR) light camera sensor based on a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) are proposed in this research.
Abstract: Finger-vein recognition, which is one of the conventional biometrics, hinders fake attacks, is cheaper, and it features a higher level of user-convenience than other biometrics because it uses miniaturized devices. However, the recognition performance of finger-vein recognition methods may decrease due to a variety of factors, such as image misalignment that is caused by finger position changes during image acquisition or illumination variation caused by non-uniform near-infrared (NIR) light. To solve such problems, multimodal biometric systems that are able to simultaneously recognize both finger-veins and fingerprints have been researched. However, because the image-acquisition positions for finger-veins and fingerprints are different, not to mention that finger-vein images must be acquired in NIR light environments and fingerprints in visible light environments, either two sensors must be used, or the size of the image acquisition device must be enlarged. Hence, there are multimodal biometrics based on finger-veins and finger shapes. However, such methods recognize individuals that are based on handcrafted features, which present certain limitations in terms of performance improvement. To solve these problems, finger-vein and finger shape multimodal biometrics using near-infrared (NIR) light camera sensor based on a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) are proposed in this research. Experimental results obtained using two types of open databases, the Shandong University homologous multi-modal traits (SDUMLA-HMT) and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University Finger Image Database (version 1), revealed that the proposed method in the present study features superior performance to the conventional methods.
