Fusion at decision level in multimodal biometric authentication system using Iris and Finger Vein with novel feature extraction

A Multimodal authentication system with fusion at decision level employing Iris and Finger Vein is developed. This paper also proposes a novel feature extraction technique for finger vein and iris traits. This approach combines the decisions from the individual modalities using the conventional AND rule. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed multimodal authentication system for accurate person authentication.
