An automatic personal identification system which is based solely and totally upon fingerprints or faces is often not able to meet the requirements such as system performance requirements Prototype biometrics system is developed which integrates faces and fingerprints. The system overcomes the limitations of both that is face recognition systems as well as fingerprint verification systems. The integrated prototype system operates in the identification mode with an admissible response time. The identity established by the system is more reliable and trusted than the identity established by a face recognition system. In addition, the proposed decision fusion scheme enables performance improvement by integrating multiple cues with different confidence measures. experimental results have demonstrated that this system performs very well. It meets the response time as well as the accuracy requirements both and also trusted.
A wide variety of systems usually requires reliable and trust able personal recognition schemes to either confirm or determine the identity of an individual requesting their services or asking for help. The purpose of such types of schemes is to ensure that the rendered services are accessed only by a legitimate user, justified or by a reasonable person and no one else. Examples of such applications include secure access to buildings, computer systems, cellular phones, and ATM s etc. In the absence of robust personal recognition schemes, these systems are vulnerable and unprotected to the wiles or clever tricks of an impostor. Biometric recognition, or, simply, biometrics, refers to the automatic recognition of individuals based on their physiological and their behavioral characteristics. By use of biometrics, it is possible to confirm or establish an individual's identity based on "who he is", rather than by "what he possesses" (e.g., an ID card) or "what he remembers" (e.g., a password). It gives a brief overview of the field of biometrics and summarize some of its advantages, disadvantages, strengths, limitations, and related privacy concerns etc.
