Unimodal biometric systems when compared with multimodal systems can be easily spoofed and may get affected by noisy data. Due to the limitations faced by unimodal systems, the need for multimodal biometric systems has rapidly increased. Multimodal systems are more reliable as it uses more than one independent biometric trait to recognize a person. These systems are more secured and have less enrollment problems compared to unimodal systems. A new Enhanced Local Line Binary Pattern (ELLBP) method is devised to extract features from ear and fingerprint so as to improve recognition rate and to provide a more reliable and secured multimodal system. The features extracted are stored in the database and compared with the test features for matching. Hamming distance is used as the metric for identification. Experiments were conducted with publicly available databases and were observed that this …
