Simulation results show that both the front face recognition rate and side-face recognition rate of the proposed method can reach more than 95% and the face recognition recall rate of the proposed method ranges from 90% to 100%. Compared with the traditional method, the recall rate has been significantly improved.

Among the different biometric traits, the face has been extensively used for human identification and is therefore much vulnerable to face spoofing attacks. In this proposed work, the face is detected with the help of an improved SegNet-based architecture, with blur measure on the basis of local min-max of left and right edges and calculate blur of horizontal and vertical edges. Image filtering is done by an adaptive median filter (AMF). The proposed and novel five-layer encoder decoder SegNet-based algorithm improves the accuracy on various benchmark dataset, i.e., NUAA, replay, printed, CASIA and live database for face liveness detection. The detection rate has reached up to 97% and the time taken for liveness is reduced up to one sec per image. This proposed algorithm shows better value of recall, precision and error rate as compared to earlier algorithms.","PeriodicalId":262486,"journal":{"name":"Int. J.

Huffman coding has also been used to increase the ability to integrate the proposed mechanism. Another new thing in this work is that we use a specific presentation to send plaintext data inside a picture. Our proposals are tested in MATLAB.

This study proposes a novel behavioural biometric based on individual laughter signatures. Mel frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) features were extracted and Kruskal-Wallis test was performed on each coefficient. A dynamic-average Mel frequency cepstral coefficients (DA-MFCC) was developed from the typical MFCC features for system training using Gaussian mixture model (GMM) and support vector machine (SVM). Test results showed an accuracy of 90%-person identification for SVM while the GMM was 65%. The use of GA-MFCC improved the accuracy of the system by 5.06% and 2.99% for GMM and SVM respectively. Laughter has thus been shown to be a viable biometric feature for person identification which can be embedded into artificial intelligence systems in diverse applications.","PeriodicalId":262486,"journal":{"name":"Int.

In GFWT, Gabor filtering is performed on the Wigner transformed image. Wigner transform gives a simultaneous representation of an image in time and frequency domain which is further processed using Gabor filters. The proposed transform is then used to extract the features from the biometrics to develop different multimodal biometric systems. A detailed study has been carried out in which, different unimodal and multimodal systems such as feature level and score level fusion are analysed. In order to improve the performance of the system, an optimisation technique, particle swarm optimisation (PSO) is used to find the optimal parameters of the Gabor filter and to select the significant GFWT feature vector. The PSO technique not only improves the performance of the system but also able to reduce the dimension of the feature vectors.

Pores are varying in scale (size) and evenly distributed along the ridges. It is the main challenge to design a technique which determines the pores of different sizes in the fingerprint image. In this paper, pore extraction algorithm is proposed for high-resolution fingerprint images which utilised multiscale γ-normalised Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG) filter. A block-wise approach is implemented in which each region is filtered at multiple scale values. Scale space theory is applied and candidate pixels of high negative response are identified through local maxima approach. The efficacy of the proposed algorithm is tested by measuring average true detection rate (TDR) and average false detection rate (FDR). Results of the proposed algorithm achieve average TDR and average FDR values as 82.89% and 21.2% respectively which are better in comparison to the state-of-art techniques.","PeriodicalId":262486,"journal":{"name":"Int.

As opposed to feature combination, EBFA projects heterogeneous features onto the projection kernel and uses only the sign parts to encode the features as bit strings to maximise its expression rather than directly combine them. Thus, the feature codes can be simply concatenated or compared by XOR bit-wise operation into a serial or parallel amalgamated feature vector. To evaluate the performance of EBFA, a series of experiments are performed on multiple biometric modalities, including face, palm-print and iris. The experimental results show that the proposed binary feature amalgamation scheme at feature-level is superior to some other feature fusion methods and score-level methods in terms of multimodal recognition accuracy performance.","PeriodicalId":262486,"journal":{"name":"Int.

To select the relevant attributes, the recursive feature elimination and the stepwise regression methods are used. All these methods are leading to high accuracy rates of genders recognition. However, the linear and quadratic discriminant methods are the most accurate. Breadth and circumference features are better than the length features in identifying the gender.
