Abstract
The increasing quest for dependable, robust and secure recognition systems led to combining two or more biometric modalities
for improved performance of a biometric system. Bimodal biometric systems have proven to achieve obvious advantages over unimodal
systems in various applications such as access control, surveillance, forensics, deduplication and border control etc. In this study, a
comparative analysis of combination of three biometric trait at feature level of fusion was carried out. Face, fingerprint and iris images
were acquired from LAUTECH biometric database. The bimodal setup consists of face-iris, face-fingerprint and iris-finger modalities.
Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was employed for feature extraction, weighted sum technique was used to fuse the images at feature
level while Support Vector Machine (SVM) was used for classification. Experimental result revealed that the bimodal biometric achieved
an improved performance than the unimodal biometric. The performances of the bimodal systems indicated that combination of face and
iris features achieved the best performance with FAR, FRR and accuracy of 0.00%, 1.42% and 99.00% at 38.15 seconds. Hence, a bimodal
face-iris recognition system would produce a more reliable security surveillance system for access control than other combination
compared in this study.
