Empowering artificial intelligence-based multi-biometric image sensor for human identification
Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) and sensor technology developments have sparked revolutionary shifts in a number of fields, including biometric Identification. In order to improve human identification processes, this research offers a novel method that integrates AI and many biometric image sensors. The accuracy, robustness, and susceptibility to spoofing assaults of conventional single-modal biometric systems are among their many drawbacks. To overcome these challenges, we introduce a secure multi-biometric system that relies on feature-level fusion to identify users. In the preprocessing step, fingerprint images undergo Min-Max normalization to mitigate variations in image quality. In order to extract high-level features from both raw Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals and Min-Max normalized fingerprint images, ResNet50, a deep convolutional neural network, is used. These extracted feature vectors are able to distinguish between the two modalities. We proposed boosted Xgboost as a classifier for authentication in the identification steps to improve performance. The proposed approach is simulated using Python. A comparison study for improved Xgboost is presented using measures for accuracy, precision-recall, and F1-Score. Across all comparative metrics, the technique achieves much better performance. According to experimental findings, the suggested multi-biometric systems are more effective, dependable, and robust than the existing multi-biometric authentication systems.
