چکیده :
This paper presents an adaptive combinational approach for the score level fusion of fingerprint and voice
biometrics, whose performance under adverse noise conditions are investigated systematically. An efficient
preprocessing on the raw vector of scores using normalization and wavelet denoising is proposed,
to improve the performance of the multibiometric system. The class as well as the score separability
measures, under various noise conditions are estimated and combined algebraically, to determine the
best integration weights, for the complementary modalities employed. The z-score normalized impostor
scores are modelled as white Gaussian noise so that the wavelet denoising techniques can be readily
applied. The inter/intra class separability measures from the feature space and the d-prime separability
measures from the match score space are estimated in the training/validation phase. The performance
of the proposed method is compared with the baseline techniques on score level fusion. Experimental
evaluations show that the proposed method improves the recognition accuracy and reduces the false
acceptance rate (FAR) and false rejection rate (FRR) over the baseline systems, under various signal-tonoise
ratio (SNR) conditions. The proposed biometric solutions will be extremely useful in applications
where there are less number of available training samples.
