Classification Accuracy improvements by the use of simultaneous biometric measurements: Hand palm recognition

Abstract

Biometric systems can achieve good results on their own. Sometimes, the single use of one biometric feature does not suit properly the application requirements because of the fact that the security level has to be extremely high. To achieve this requirement, it is possible to use a multimodal biometric system. This implies that the user must pass through a set of biometric devices to login in each one. This process could be sometimes overwhelming for the users and, for this reason, a new multimodal hand-palmprint identification device is proposed. Within this approach, the acquisition of the different biometric measures is done at the same time.
