Abstract

Fusion of matching scores of multiple biometric traits is becoming more and more popular and is a very promising approach to enhance the system's accuracy. This paper presents a comparative study of several advanced artificial intelligence techniques (e.g. Particle Swarm Optimization, Genetic Algorithm, Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Systems, etc...) as to fuse matching scores in a multimodal biometric system. The fusion was performed under three data conditions: clean, varied and degraded. Some normalization techniques are also performed prior fusion so to enhance verification performance. Moreover; it is shown that regardless the type of biometric modality , when fusing scores genetic algorithms and Particle Swarm Optimization techniques outperform other well-known techniques in a multimodal biometric system verification/identification.
