Hardware Implementation of Multimodal Biometric using Fingerprint and Iris

In this paper, a hardware architecture of a multimodal biometric system is presented that massively exploits the inherent parallelism. The proposed system is based on multiple biometric fusion that uses two biometric traits, fingerprint and iris. Each biometric trait is first optimised at the software level, by addressing some of the issues that directly affect the FAR and FRR. Then the hardware architectures for both biometric traits are presented, followed by a final multimodal hardware architecture. To the best of the author’s knowledge, no other FPGA-based design exits that used these two traits.
