Multimodal Biometric System Based on Fingerprint Identification and Iris Recognition

Mono modal biometric systems encounter a variety of security problems and present sometimes unacceptable error rates. Some of these drawbacks can be overcome by setting up multimodal biometric systems. Multimodal biometrics consists in combining two or more biometric modalities in a single identification system to improve the recognition accuracy. However features of different biometrics have to be statistically independent. This paper proposes a multimodal biometric systems using fingerprint and iris recognition.
