Multimodal Biometric Method Based on the Score-level Fusion of Forearm Vein and Forearm Geometry

ABSTRACT

Biometric authentication based on the forearm is less exploited in previous studies than those based on the finger or the hand. Therefore, we propose a multimodal forearm biometric method that combines veins and geometry of a human forearm, using two veins features: SURF and line-based feature, and one geometry feature: forearm shape feature. The proposed method introduces a score-level fusion approach based on the Cumulative Match Characteristics (CMC) curve. Weighted SUM rule and z-score normalization are applied to obtain the final fusion score, and the optimal weights are calculated by analyzing the CMC(1) point and the CMC=100% point on CMC curves. Two comparison experiments show that the proposed multimodal biometric method outperforms the single-modal methods and other score-level fusion methods.
