Project Name: Multimodal Biometric Authentication System
Client’s Business’s Name: Academic to Business Computing Collaborators:
Supervisor: Vitaly Schetintin
Client Name: Carsten Maple
Student Team Names: Igor P., Yegor U.
Project Brief: Describe the goal of the project. The main aim of the project is to propose the use of more than one authentication method to produce a single authentication system that will be effective and collect biometric data to identify individual persons. The purpose of combining three biometric techniques is to compensate the individual weaknesses of each technique. Explain your involvement in the project The proposal for the biometric authentication system was a team effort. Every team member had a contributing part to the development of the project. I developed the database using Microsoft Excel. Igor had a past knowledge on programming language, so he was able to design a program for feature extraction. Yegor worked on the analysis of the captured data using Mat Lab.
The Solution: Describe the solution produced. The design has two main objectives. The first objective is to increase the level of security when identifying users and to reduce the rate of match and non-match occurrences. The second objective is to integrate the three biometrics and set the threshold that decides a match or a non-match. The design makes use of a finger print scanner, a face scanner and a motion capture suit. Users are enrolled using the three sensors, face scanner, finger print scanners and motion capture. When users are to be identified, a threshold is set for all the biometric devices during testing and training, the database searches for a match based on the three sensors and a decision to accept or reject is
