Biometric systems based solely on one-modal biometrics are often not able to meet the desired performance requirements for large user population applications, due to problems such as noisy data, intra-class variations, restricted degrees of freedom, non-university, spoof attacks, and unacceptable error rates. Multimodal biometrics refers to the use of a combination of two or more biometric modalities in a single identification system. The most compelling reason to combine different modalities is to improve the recognition accuracy. This can be done when features of different biometrics are statistically independent. This paper overviews and discusses the various scenarios that are possible in multimodal biometric systems using fingerprint, face and iris recognition, the levels of fusion that are possible and the integration strategies that can be adopted to fuse information and improve overall system accuracy. This paper will also discuss how the image quality of fingerprint, face and iris used in the multimodal biometric systems will affect the overall identification accuracy and the need of staffing for the secondary human validation. For a large user population identification system, which often has more than tens or hundreds of millions of subject images already enrolled in the matcher databases and has to process more than hundreds of thousands of identification requests, the system's identification accuracy and the need of staffing levels to properly operate the system are two of the most important factors in determining whether a system is properly designed and integrated.
