Multimodal biometric cryptosystem for human authentication using fingerprint and ear

Abstract

The multimodal biometrics is mainly used for the purpose of person certification and proof. Lot of biometrics is used for human authentication. In which ear and fingerprint are efficient one. There are three vital phases involved in the biometric detection which include the Preprocessing, Feature extraction and the classification. Initially, preprocessing is done with the help of median filter which lends a helping hand to the task of cropping the image for choosing the position. Then, from the preprocessed Finger print and ear image texture and shape features are extracted. In the long run, the extracted features are integrated. The integrated features, in turn, are proficiently classified by means of the optimal neural network (ONN). Here, the NN weights are optimally, selected with the help of firefly algorithm (FF). The biometric image is classified into fingerprint and ear if the identical person images are amassed in one group and the uneven images are stored in a different group. The performance of the proposed approach is analyzed in terms of evaluation metrics.
