This paper describes a multi-biometric verification system that is fully adaptive to variability in data acquisition using fuzzy logic decision fusion. The system uses fuzzy logic to dynamically alter the weight of three biometrics (face, fingerprint and speech), taking into account the variations during data acquisition (e.g. lighting, noise and user-device interactions). A specific decision boundary can be determined by this dynamic weight assignment to make the authentication decisions.An overall EER improvement of 42.1% relative to weighted average fusion has been achieved.
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.
