Definition
Multispectral biometrics are based on data consisting of four to ten separate images of the same biometric trait and representing sensors’ responses in different wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. In contrast to conventional images, which generally represent an integrated response of a single sensor over a wide range of bands in the same spectral zone, multispectral data usually refers to multiple separate sensor(s) responses in relatively narrow spectral bands. The word multispectral was first used in space-based imaging to denote data acquired in the visible and infrared spectra. In biometrics, the word multispectral has been used to describe responses in multiple narrow bands either all in the visible, or all in the infrared, or a mixture of both. Even though the words hyperspectral and multispectralhave often been used interchangeably, hyperspectral imaging usually refers to cases...
