Abstract:
Essentially a biometric system is a pattern recognition system
which recognizes a user by determining the authenticity of a
specific anatomical or behavioral characteristic possessed by the
user. With the ever increasing integration of computers and
Internet into daily life style, it has become necessary to protect
sensitive and personal data. This paper proposes a multimodal
biometric system which incorporates more than one biometric
trait to attain higher security and to handle failure to
enroll situations for some users. This paper is aimed at
investigating a multimodal biometric identity system using
Linear Discriminant Analysis as backbone to both facial and
speech recognition and implementing such system in real-time
using SignalWAVE.
