Biometrics is an active area of research because of the increase in need for accurate person identification in numerous applications ranging from entertainment to security. Unimodal and multimodal are the well-known biometric methods. Unimodal biometrics uses one biometric modality of a person for person identification. The performance of an unimodal biometric system is degraded due to certain limitations such as: intra-class variations and nonuniversality. The person identification using more than one biometric modality of a person is multimodal biometrics. This method of identification has gained more interest due to resistance on spoof attacks and more recognition rate. Conventional methods of feature extraction have difficulty in engineering features that are liable to more variations such as illumination, pose and age variations. Feature extraction using convolution neural network (CNN) can overcome these difficulties because large dataset with robust variations can be used for training, where CNN can learn these variations. In this paper, we propose multimodal biometrics at feature level horizontal fusion using face, ear and periocular region biometric modalities and apply deep learning CNN for feature representation and also we propose face, ear and periocular region dataset that are robust to intra-class variations. The evaluation of the system is made by using proposed database. Accuracy, Precision, Recall and [Formula: see text] score are calculated to evaluate the performance of the system and had shown remarkable improvement over existing biometric system.


Biometrics is the estimation of natural qualities which are one of a kind to a person for recognizing and confirming the person. The estimations incorporate fingerprints, retinal outputs, iris checks, voice designs, facial qualities, palm prints, and so forth.., Biometric frameworks have been especially effective in distinguishing an obscure individual via looking through a database of attributes and by confirming the case of a person by contrasting his/her trademark with that put away in a database. To expand the heartiness of the framework and to make it more secure, different attributes of a similar individual are utilized. This is alluded to as multimodal biometrics. In this paper we talked about a portion of the multimodal biometric frameworks. Here a bi-modular biometric acknowledgment framework in light of iris, palm-print. Wavelet and curve let change and Gabor-edge channel are utilized to extricate includes in various weighing machine moreover introductions starting iris as well as palm print, finer points taking out in addition to arrangement is utilized in favour of coordinating. diverse combination calculations together with achieve based, positionbased plus choice depend on techniques are utilized to-join the consequences of two constituents. We additionally recommend another rank-based combination calculation Bio Maximum Inverse Rank (BMIR) which is vigorous as for varieties in scores and furthermore awful positioning from a module. IITD iris databases and CASIA datasets for palm print and unique mark are utilized in this investigation. The examinations demonstrate the adequacy of our combination strategy, profound learning, neural systems and our Bi-modular biometric acknowledgment framework in contrast with existing multi-modular acknowledgment frameworks.
