Unimodal biometrics system (UBS) drawbacks include noisy data, intra-class variance, inter-class similarities, non-universality, which all affect the system's classification performance. Intramodal fingerprint fusion can overcome the limitations imposed by UBS when features are fused at the feature level as it is a good approach to boost the performance of the biometric system. However, feature level fusion leads to high dimensionality of feature space which can be overcame by Feature Selection (FS). FS improves the performance of classification by selecting only relevant and useful information from extracted feature sets being an optimization problem. Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) is an optimizing algorithm that has been frequently used in solving FS problems because of its simple concept, use of few control parameters, easy implementation and good exploration characteristics. ABC was proposed for optimized feature selection prior to the classification of Fingerprint Intramodal Biometric System (FIBS). Performance evaluation of ABC-based FIBS showed the system had a Sensitivity of 97.69% and RA of 96.76%. The developed ABC optimized feature selection reduced the high dimensionality of features space prior to classification tasks thereby increasing sensitivity and recognition accuracy of FIBS.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
