Abstract

A biometric system provides automatic identification of an individual based on a unique feature or characteristic possessed by the individual. Biometric systems based solely on uni modal biometrics are often not able to meet the desired performance requirements for large user population applications. The problem occur is due to 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. Therefore, this research project overviews and discusses the various scenarios in multimodal biometric systems that can be adopted to fuse information and improve overall system accuracy by focusing on the development and implementation of a multiinstance biometric system prototype with a specific reference to Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM) Corporate Attendance System. The prototype uses two different fingers for each staff in order to identify and verify his/her attendance. This is different with other normal attendance system that uses a singlemodal biometric system. The main objective is to provide a secure, reliable and convenient attendance system as compared those traditional attendance systems that use punch cards, authentication tokens, user ids and etc. The proposed multiinstance biometric system shows its potential in reducing the False Accept Rate (FAR) and to protect the system from being excessive exploitation.
