Abstract
Biometric-based personal identification is regarded as an effective method for identification. In multimodal systems more than one biometric sample feature is used for identification which makes duplications of feature and spoofing nearly impossible. This paper proposes an identification method for a multimodal biometric system using two traits, i.e., ear and fingerprint. A new technique is introduced here for choosing the region of interest of the ear and fingerprint image. The two local points, including the Canal Intertranguiano and the starting point of the Helix are taken as the region of interest (ROI) for ear. In case of fingerprint image also the same procedure is followed to take ROI from the fingerprint image. After feature extraction of ear and fingerprint both undergoes fusion process. The fusion of these two extracted features is done using concatenation technique. Later, matching process is carried out to identify a person.
