Secure Multimodal Biometric Recognition Using Watermarking Scheme

Abstract

This paper deals with a watermarking scheme and its application to multimodal biometric recognition system using face and fingerprint. To show the effectiveness, we evaluate the various performance in terms of recognition rate as well as PSNR before and after applying the watermarking scheme. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme makes it possible to effectively hide and extract the biometric features without deteriorating recognition rate.
