Research on how to use the biological characteristics of human to confirm the identity of the individual is being actively conducted. Electrocardiogram(: ECG) based biometric system is difficult to counterfeit and does not cause skin irritation on the subject. It can be easily combined with conventional biometrics such as fingerprint and face recognition to give multimodal biometric systems. In this thesis, biometric identification method analysing ECG waveform characteristics from Discrete Wavelet Transform(DWT) coefficients is suggested. Feature selection is performed on the 9 coefficients of DWT using the correlation analysis. The verification is achieved by using the error back propagation neural networks. Using the proposed approach on 24 subjects of MIT-BIH QT Database, 98.88% verification rate has been obtained.

In this paper, we propose a multi-modal biometric system based on face, iris and fingerprint recognition system. To effectively aggregate two systems, we use statistical distribution models based on matching values for genuine and impostor, respectively. And then, We performed reveal fusion algorithms including weighted summation, Support Vector Machine(SVM), Fisher discriminant analysis, Bayesian classifier. From the various experiments, we found that the performance of multi-modal biometric system was influenced with the normalization methods and classifiers.

This paper presents a wavelet-based watermarking algorithm to securely hide biometric features such as face and fingerprint and effectively extract them with less distortion of the concealed data. To hide the biometric features, we proposed a determination method of insert location based on wavelet transform and adaptive weight method according to the image characteristics. The hidden features are effectively extracted by applying the inverse wavelet transform to the watermarked image. To show the effectiveness, we analyze the various performance such as PSNR and correlation of watermark features before and after applying watermarking. Also, we evaluate the effect of watermaking algorithm with respect to biometric system such as recognition rate. Recognition rate shows 98.67% for multimodal biometric systems consisted of face and fingerprint. From these, we confirm that the proposed method makes it possible to effectively hide and extract the biometric features without lowering recognition rate.

Multimodal biometric-based recognition has been an active topic because of its higher convenience in recent years. Due to high user convenience of finger, finger-based personal identification has been widely used in practice. Hence, taking Finger-Print (FP), Finger-Vein (FV) and Finger-Knuckle-Print (FKP) as the ingredients of characteristic, their feature representation were helpful for improving the universality and reliability in identification. To usefully fuse the multimodal finger-features together, a new robust representation algorithm was proposed based on hierarchical model. Firstly, to obtain more robust features, the feature maps were obtained by Gabor magnitude feature coding and then described by Local Binary Pattern (LBP). Secondly, the LGBP-based feature maps were processed hierarchically in bottom-up mode by variable rectangle and circle granules, respectively. Finally, the intension of each granule was represented by Local-invariant Gray Features (LGFs) and called Hierarchical Local-Gabor-based Gray Invariant Features (HLGGIFs). Experiment results revealed that the proposed algorithm is capable of improving rotation variation of finger-pose, and achieving lower Equal Error Rate (EER) in our homemade database.

Biometrics identification using multiple modalities has attracted the attention of many researchers as it produces more robust and trustworthy results than single modality biometrics. In this paper, we present a novel multimodal recognition system that trains a deep learning network to automatically learn features after extracting multiple biometric modalities from a single data source, i.e., facial video clips. Utilizing different modalities, i.e., left ear, left profile face, frontal face, right profile face, and right ear, present in the facial video clips, we train supervised denoising auto-encoders to automatically extract robust and non-redundant features. The automatically learned features are then used to train modality specific sparse classifiers to perform the multimodal recognition. Moreover, the proposed technique has proven robust when some of the above modalities were missing during the testing. The proposed system has three main components that are responsible for detection, which consists of modality specific detectors to automatically detect images of different modalities present in facial video clips; feature selection, which uses supervised denoising sparse auto-encoders network to capture discriminative representations that are robust to the illumination and pose variations; and classification, which consists of a set of modality specific sparse representation classifiers for unimodal recognition, followed by score level fusion of the recognition results of the available modalities. Experiments conducted on the constrained facial video dataset (WVU) and the unconstrained facial video dataset (HONDA/UCSD), resulted in a 99.17% and 97.14% Rank-1 recognition rates, respectively. The multimodal recognition accuracy demonstrates the superiority and robustness of the proposed approach irrespective of the illumination, non-planar movement, and pose variations present in the video clips even in the situation of missing modalities.

This study will offer multimodal recognition instead of an existing monomodal bioinfomatics by using facial multi-feature to improve the accuracy of recognition and to consider the convenience of user . Each bioinfomatics vector can be found by the following ways. For a face, the feature is calculated by principal component analysis with wavelet multiresolution. For a lip, a filter is used to find out an equation to calculate the edges of the lips first. Then by using a thinning image and least square method, an equation factor can be drawn. A feature found out the facial parameter distance ratio. We've sorted backpropagation neural network and experimented with the inputs used above. Based on the experimental results we discuss the advantage and efficiency.

Authentication methods on smartphone are demanded to be implicit to users with minimum users' interaction. Existing authentication methods (e.g. PINs, passwords, visual patterns, etc.) are not effectively considering remembrance and privacy issues. Behavioral biometrics such as keystroke dynamics and gait biometrics can be acquired easily and implicitly by using integrated sensors on smartphone. We propose a biometric model involving keystroke dynamics for implicit authentication on smartphone. We first design a feature extraction method for keystroke dynamics. And then, we build a fusion model of keystroke dynamics and gait to improve the authentication performance of single behavioral biometric on smartphone. We operate the fusion at both feature extraction level and matching score level. Experiment using linear Support Vector Machines (SVM) classifier reveals that the best results are achieved with score fusion: a recognition rate approximately 97.86% under identification mode and an error rate approximately 1.11% under authentication mode.

Biometric recognition is a technology that determines whether a person is identified by extracting information on a person's biometric and behavioral characteristics with a specific device. Cyber threats such as forgery, duplication, and hacking of biometric characteristics are increasing in the field of biometrics. In response, the security system is strengthened and complex, and it is becoming difficult for individuals to use. To this end, multiple biometric models are being studied. Existing studies have suggested feature fusion methods, but comparisons between feature fusion methods are insufficient. Therefore, in this paper, we compared and evaluated the fusion method of multiple biometric models using fingerprint, face, and iris images. VGG-16, ResNet-50, EfficientNet-B1, EfficientNet-B4, EfficientNet-B7, and Inception-v3 were used for feature extraction, and the fusion methods of 'Sensor-Level', 'Feature-Level', 'Score-Level', and 'Rank-Level' were compared and evaluated for feature fusion. As a result of the comparative evaluation, the EfficientNet-B7 model showed 98.51% accuracy and high stability in the 'Feature-Level' fusion method. However, because the EfficietnNet-B7 model is large in size, model lightweight studies are needed for biocharacteristic fusion.

Biometric authentication is rising technology for the security market of the next generation. But most of biometric systems are developed using only one of various biological features. Recently, there is a vigorous research for the standardization of various biometric systems. In this paper, we propose a web-based authentication system using three other verifiers based on functional, parametric, and structural approaches for one biometrics of handwritten signature, which is conformable to a specification of BioAPI introduced by BioAPI Consortium for a standardization of biometric technology. This system is developed with a client-server structure, and clients and servers consist of three layers according to the BioAPI structure. The proposed neb-based multiple authentication system of one biometrics can be used to highly increase confidence degree of authentication without additional several biological measurements, although rejection rate is a little increased. That is, the false accept rate(FAR) decreases on the scale of about 1:40,000, although false reject rate(FRR) increases about 2.7 times in the case of combining above three signature verifiers. So the proposed approach can be used as an effective identification method on the internet of an open network. Also, it can be easily extended to a security system using multimodal biometrics.
