An effective fusion scheme is necessary for combining features from multiple biometric traits. This paper presents a method of fusion using multiple features from hand vein biometric traits for Multimodal biometric recognition. In the proposed method, a biometric authentication system using three different set of veins images, such as, finger vein, palm vein and dorsal vein is developed. Here the multiple features from the input vein images are extracted by applying Radon transform, Hilbert-Huang transform and Dual tree complex wavelet transform for each of the vein images. Once the features are extracted, a feature level fusion is carried out using the optimization algorithm called, Group Search Optimization. Then, recognition is done using the trained features by different classifiers such as support vector machine, fuzzy, neural network, bayes classifier and k-nearest neighbor classifiers. This approach is tested on the standard data bases of finger vein, palm vein and dorsal vein images of the hand. The proposed method provides higher accuracy and lower equal error rate which shows the efficiency of the technique compared with the other existing techniques.
Barbs are India's native group of ornamental fish, and it has a wide recognition in the global ornamental fish trade (Sarkar & Lakra, 2010).Barbs come under Cyprinidae family, which is the largest freshwater family and widely distributed around the world. Barb's attractive colour and shape, large scales, schooling behaviour, easy to maintain and breed qualities have made them popular in the aquarium trade (Tamaru, 1997). Puntius species are popular at international level because of their striking colours and attractive shape (Collins, 2012).Dawkinsia rohani synonym of Puntius rohani (Devi et al., 2010) is a cyprinid fish native to Kanyakumari District, Tamil Nadu, India. It is an endemic ornamental barb of the Western Ghats and inhabits the hill streams of Kanyakumari District in Tamil Nadu draining into the Arabian Sea (Devi et al., 2010). Dawkinsia rohani has been reported to be under several potential threats like urban development, tourism, invasive species, agricultural pollution and excessive harvesting (Dahanukar, 2015). The Rohan's Barb is listed under 'vulnerable' on
