Abstract

Multimodal biometric authentication resolves no. of issues present in unimodal biometrics. There are number of ways for the fusion of different modalities in multimodal biometrics. Fusion could be either before matching the scores or after matching the score. The presented research paper deals with the comparative study of different techniques which performs fusion of information after matching. The researcher has tried to find the technique best for the fusion.
