Biometric systems based on a single source of information suffer from limitations such as the lack of uniqueness, nonuniversality of the chosen biometric trait, noisy data and spoof attacks. Multimodal biometrics are relatively new systems that overcome those problems. These systems fuse information from multiple sources in order to achieve the better person recognition performance. In this paper, the 2D and 3D information of palmprint are integrated in order to construct an efficient multimodal biometric system based on fusion at matching score level and at feature extraction level. The observation vectors are created independently either from the original data of the two modalities (2D and 3D palmprint) or from their rotation invariant variance measures applied on textures. On each modality (or its corresponding invariant texture), we have applied the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for reducing dimension of …
