ABSTRACT: This paper presents a novel multi-level wavelet based fusion algorithm that combines information from fingerprint‚ face‚ iris‚ and signature images of an individual. The effectiveness of the fusion algorithm is experimentally validated by computing the matching scores and the equal error rates before fusion‚ after reconstruction of biometric images‚ and when the composite fused image is subjected to both frequency and geometric attacks. The complexity of the fusion and the reconstruction
