The extensive research in the field of multimodal biometrics by the research community and the advent of modern technology has compelled the use of multimodal biometrics in real life applications. Biometric systems that are based on a single modality have many constraints like noise, less universality, intra class variations and spoof attacks. On the other hand, multimodal biometric systems are gaining greater attention because of their high accuracy, increased reliability and enhanced security. This research paper proposes and develops a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based model for the feature level fusion of fingerprint and online signature. Two types of feature level fusion schemes for the fingerprint and online signature have been implemented in this paper. The first scheme named early fusion combines the features of fingerprints and online signatures before the fully connected layers, while the second fusion scheme named late fusion combines the features after fully connected layers. To train and test the proposed model, a new multimodal dataset consisting of 1400 samples of fingerprints and 1400 samples of online signatures from 280 subjects was collected. To train the proposed model more effectively, the size of the training data was further increased using augmentation techniques. The experimental results show an accuracy of 99.10% achieved with early feature fusion scheme, while 98.35% was achieved with late feature fusion scheme.

Recent times witnessed many advancements in the field of biometric and ultimodal biometric fields. This is typically observed in the area, of security, privacy, and forensics. Even for the best of unimodal biometric systems, it is often not possible to achieve a higher recognition rate. Multimodal biometric systems overcome various limitations of unimodal biometric systems, such as nonuniversality, lower false acceptance, and higher genuine acceptance rates. More reliable recognition performance is achievable as multiple pieces of evidence of the same identity are available. The work presented in this paper is focused on multimodal biometric system using fingerprint and iris. Distinct textual features of the iris and fingerprint are extracted using the Haar wavelet-based technique. A novel feature level fusion algorithm is developed to combine these unimodal features using the Mahalanobis distance technique. A support-vector-machine-based learning algorithm is used to train the system using the feature extracted. The performance of the proposed algorithms is validated and compared with other algorithms using the CASIA iris database and real fingerprint database. From the simulation results, it is evident that our algorithm has higher recognition rate and very less false rejection rate compared to existing approaches.

In order to improve the detection accuracy of pulmonary nodules in CT image, considering two problems of pulmonary nodules detection model, including unreasonable feature structure and nontightness of feature representation, a pulmonary nodules detection algorithm is proposed based on SVM and CT image feature-level fusion with rough sets. Firstly, CT images of pulmonary nodule are analyzed, and 42-dimensional feature components are extracted, including six new 3-dimensional features proposed by this paper and others 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional features. Secondly, these features are reduced for five times with rough set based on feature-level fusion. Thirdly, a grid optimization model is used to optimize the kernel function of support vector machine (SVM), which is used as a classifier to identify pulmonary nodules. Finally, lung CT images of 70 patients with pulmonary nodules are collected as the original samples, which are used to verify the effectiveness and stability of the proposed model by four groups’ comparative experiments. The experimental results show that the effectiveness and stability of the proposed model based on rough set feature-level fusion are improved in some degrees.

Iris recognition system has gained prominent focus because of its uniqueness, stability over time. But the recognition level of single biometric based recognition systems is greatly affected by environmental conditions, physiological deficiency. Multi-biometric systems diminish this problem with the fusion of features collected from various traits or samples of the same trait, a single trait by employing multiple algorithms or multiple instances. To gain the advantages of multi-biometric systems in iris recognition, a Multi-algorithmic iris recognition system has been proposed where Texture features from iris are extracted by using 2D-Log Gabor filter and Phase features are extracted by Haar Wavelet; And these features can be integrated at various levels like Decision, Rank, Score, feature, and pixel. Even though the feature level fusion contains rich information about biometric samples when compared to remaining fusion levels; it involves mapping complexity, high dimensional feature space. To gain advantage of feature level fusion in iris recognition and to overcome the problem of resulted high dimensional feature space, Genetic Algorithm (GA) based reduction scheme, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) reduction strategy and a hybrid reduction scheme which is a combination of PCA and GA have been applied to reduce the resulted feature space. The performance of these reduction strategies have evaluated on CASIA iris database, IIT Delhi iris database using Machine Learning approaches. The results have shown that the feature space has dramatically reduced while keeping recognition accuracy and also revealed that space and time requirements have significantly decreased after employing feature reduction schemes.
