Performance of Multimodal Biometric Systems Using Face and Fingerprints (Short Survey)

Biometric authentication is the science and engineering of assessing and evaluating bioinformatics from the human body in order to increase system security by providing reliable and accurate behaviors and classifiers for personal identification and authentication. Its solutions are widely used in industries, governments, and the military. This paper reviews the multimodal biometric systems that integrated both faces and fingerprints as well as shows which one has the best accuracy and hardware complexity with the methods and databases. Several methods have been used in multimodal biometric systems such as KNN (K-Nearest Neighbor), CNN (Convolutional Neural Network), PCA (Principal Component Analysis), and so on. A multimodal biometric system for face and fingerprints that uses an FoM (Figure of Merit) to compare and show between the articles the best accuracy that have used multimodal biometric system face and fingerprints methods. The best performance has been found is 99.43% by using the cascade multimodal method.
