Abstract

A multimodal biometric scheme using watermarking technique to provide more secure and reliable personal recognition is proposed in this paper. Two distinct biometric traits have been under consideration: palmprint and knuckleprint. The palmprint image is chosen to be the host image. Knuckleprint biometric feature is selected to use as watermark hidden in the host image. Such that knuckleprint watermark not only protects palmprint biometric data, but also can be used as a covert recognition. Meanwhile, the bimodal biometrics recognition provides the improvement in the accuracy performance of the system. The experiment results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
