Multiple Hand Based Biometric Bit Extraction For Template Protection

In this research, a biometric template protection method that encompasses multiple biometrics fusion, feature transformation and bit-extraction is proposed. Normally, the fusion of different biometrics forms a multi-biometrics system that offers some advantages over unibiometric system such as - hig...
