The paper presents a novel model of hybrid biometric-based authentication. Currently, the
recognition accuracy of a single biometric verification system is often much reduced due to …

Currently, many factors like environment, physiological defects of an individual, illumination
etc. often influence the reduction of recognition accuracy of a single factor biometric …

Biometric user authentication using the face has been applied mainly to access control
systems. However, access is allowed even when a photo is presented instead of an actual …

Biometric based person identity verification is gaining more and more attention. Several
studies have shown that multimodal biometric identification systems improve the recognition …

In the well explored domain of facial biometrics, methods which forgo traditional models of
intruder detection can lead to a more robust system. One such method, which is outlined in …

Biometric authentication has been gaining popularity for providing privacy and security in
many applications including secure access control, surveillance systems, user identification …

Security has become a major issue globally and in order to manage the security challenges
and reduce the security risks in the world, biometric systems such as face detection and …

The use of personal identity verification systems with multi-modal biometrics has been
proposed in order to increase the performance and robustness against environmental …

The focus of this chapter is on face-based biometric authentication methods. These methods
first use the camera sensor images to detect the face of the users. Next, they extract low …

A biometric system is essentially a pattern recognition system. This system measures and
analyses human body physiological characteristics, such as face and facial features …
