  • Abstract
    In this paper, we use Genetic and Evolutionary Computation (GEC) to optimize the weights assigned to the biometric modalities of a multi-biometric system for score-level fusion. Our results show that GEC-based multi-biometric fusion provides a significant improvement in the recognition accuracy over evenly fused biometric modalities, increasing the accuracy from 90.77% to 95.24%.
