Feature Level Fusion of Fingerprints and IRIS for the Enhancement of Biometric System

Background:: With the growing need for information safety and security rules in every corner of the globe. The biometric innovation has been used widely all over the world in daily life. In this view, the Multimodal-based biometric technique has gained popularity and interest due to its capability to resolve various problems associated with single-model biometric identification systems Methods:: In this research, an advanced multimodal-based biometric recognition system is introduced, which depends on multilayer perceptron (MLP), and it identifies humans using biometric features of Fingerprints and IRIS. To build an efficient model, the popular model called Rest- Net50 was used, the gradient method was used and the hinge technique was used as a loss function. For the technique of fusion, different techniques are used to show the effect of fusion in our model. The recognition rate of introduced systems was assessed by experimenting with various techniques on SDUMLA-HMT datasets based on the multimodal biometric datasets. The recognition rate showed that merging two biometric features in biometric recognition systems gives the best results compared to a single biometric feature. Results:: The results obtained showed the superiority of our model with other existing techniques by obtaining a recognition rate of 99.79% with a feature-based fusion method. Conclusion:: The introduced system used the MLP deep learning technique. The feature level fusion was applied to recognize the user using IRIS and fingerprints. To the best of our belief, this is the first research to incorporate MLP and multimodal-based biometric systems using IRIS and fingerprints.
