Technology advancements have led to the emergence of biometrics as the most relevant future authentication technology. On practical grounds, unimodal biometric authentication systems have inevitable momentous limitations due to varied data quality and noise levels. The paper aims at investigating fusion of face and fingerprint biometric characteristics to achieve a high level personal authentication system. In the fusion strategy face features are extracted using Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) algorithm and fingerprint features are extracted using minutiae feature extraction. These extracted features are optimized using nature inspired Genetic Algorithm (GA). The efficiency of the proposed fusion authentication system is enhanced by training and testing the data by applying Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The quality of the proposed design is evaluated against two nature inspired algorithms, namely, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO)and Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) in terms of False Acceptance Rate (FAR), False Rejection Rate (FRR) and recognition accuracy. Simulation results over a range of image sample from 10 to 100 images have shown that the proposed biometric fusion strategy resulted in FARof 2.89, FAR 0.71and accuracy 97.72%.Experimental evaluation of the proposed system also outperformed the existing biometric fusion system.


This research presents an improved biometric fusion system (IBFS) that integrates fingerprint and face as a subsystem. Two authentication systems, namely, Improved Fingerprint Recognition System (IFPRS) and Improved Face Recognition System (IFRS), are introduced respectively. For both, Atmospheric Light Adjustment (ALA) algorithm is used as an image quality enhancement technique for the improvement in visualization of acquired fingerprint and face data. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used as an optimization algorithm with minutiae feature for IFPRS and Speed Up Robust Feature (SURF) for IFRS. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is used as a classifier for IBFS. For the demonstration of the results, quality based parameters are computed, and in the end, a comparison is drawn to depict the efficiency of the work.The optimization techniques such as Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and BFO (Bacterial Foraging Optimization) has been considered to determine the effectiveness of the proposed model.The experimental results consider different parameters such as False Acceptance Rate (FAR), False Rejection Ratio (FRR), Accuracy and Execution time which shows that performance of the proposed model better than the other optimization models. In addition, to enhance robustness of the proposed structure, the results further compared with conventional technique which shows that accuracy has been improved by 2%.

: Fiber Wireless Access Network is the blend of passive optical network and wireless access network. This network provides higher capacity, better flexibility, more stability and improved reliability to the users at lower cost. Network component (such as Optical Network Unit (ONU)) placement is one of the major research issues which affects the network design, performance and cost. Considering all these concerns, we implement customized Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) for ONU placement. Initially whale optimization algorithm is applied to get optimized position of ONUs, which is followed by reduction of number of ONUs in the network. Reduction of ONUs is done such that with fewer number of ONUs all routers present in the network can communicate. In order to ensure the performance of the network we compute the network parameters such as Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), Total Time for Delivering the Packets in the Network (TTDPN) and percentage reduction in power consumption for the proposed algorithm. The performance of the proposed work is compared with existing algorithms (deterministic and centrally placed ONUs with predefined hops) and has been analyzed through extensive simulation. The result shows that the proposed algorithm is superior to the other algorithms in terms of minimum required ONUs and reduced power consumption in the network with almost same packet delivery ratio and total time for delivering the packets in the network. Therefore, present work is suitable for developing cost-effective FiWi network with maintained network performance.
