A multimodal biometrics system implemented using open source technology

Because of the rising need for reliable biometric systems, finding different ways for improving biometric system performance becomes a significant problem. A solution to this problem is the integration of more different biometric modalities, known as multimodal biometrics. In this paper a description of a real multimodal biometrics system, developed on Faculty of organisational sciences using open source technology is given. Unimodal biometric solutions are presented, system performance measurements for different information fusion methods given and multimodal biometric database used for testing system performance is described.
