This book presents a novel method of multimodal biometric fusion using a random selection of biometrics, which covers a new method of feature extraction, a new framework of sensor-level and feature-level fusion. Most of the biometric systems presently use unimodal systems which have several limitations. Multimodal systems can increase the matching accuracy of a recognition system. This monograph shows how the problems of unimodal systems can be efficiently dealt with and focuses on multimodal biometric identification and sensor-level, feature-level fusion. It discusses fusion in biometric systems to improve performance. <ul> <li>Presents a random selection of biometrics to ensure that the system is interacting with a live user</li> <li>Offers a compilation of all techniques used for unimodal as well as multimodal biometric identification systems, elaborated with required justification and interpretation with case studies, suitable figures, tables, graphs, and so on</li> <li>Shows that for feature-level fusion using contourlet transform features with LDA for dimension reduction attains more accuracy compared to that of block variance features</li> <li>Includes contribution in feature extraction and pattern recognition for an increase in the accuracy of the system</li> <li>Explains contourlet transform as the best modality-specific feature extraction algorithms for fingerprint, face, and palmprint</li> </ul> This book is for researchers, scholars, and students of Computer Science, Information Technology, Electronics and Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and people working on biometric applications.
