This paper proposes a dual-biometric-modality personal identification system, which has both outstanding identification performance and effective anti-spoofing property. This dual-modality system represents the first effort to fuse the conventional fingerprint with a novel biometric modality--Electroencephalogram (EEG). The fusion of these two modalities is achieved at the matching score level. Experimental results show that the highest identification performance is obtained in the dual-modality system, when its performance is compared with those of the systems using these two modalities separately. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that EEG is an appealing complementary modality to enhance the anti-spoofing capability of conventional biometrics-based identification systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
