Face, Ear and Fingerprint: Designing Multibiometric Architectures
Andrea Francesco Abate, Michele Nappi, Daniel Riccio, Maria De Marsico · 2007
The number of biometrics as well as the number of publications about biometrics have noticeably grown in the last ten years. However, it was not possible yet to identify a bodily or behavioral feature able by itself to satisfy the acceptability and reliability constraints imposed by real applications. In this work we analyze the combination of the three different biometries face, ear and fingerprint using both a new multimodal schema, namely the N-Cross Testing Protocol, and a fast hierarchical architecture. Experimental results in the final part of our work provide a positive feedback.
