Abstract: This paper proposes a novel robust watermarking scheme to embed fingerprint minutiae into face images for multimodal biometric authentication. First, a block pyramid is layered according to the block-wise face region distinctiveness estimated by Adaboost; upper level indicates informative spacial regions. Then, we adopt a first-order statics QIM method to perform watermark embedding in each pyramid level. Numeric watermark bits with higher priority are embedded into upper pyramid level with a larger embedding strength. By joint differentiation of host image regions and watermark bits priority, our scheme achieves a trade-offs among watermarking robustness, capacity and fidelity. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach guarantees the robustness of hidden biometric data, while preserving the distinctiveness of host biometric images.

TL;DR: Experimental results demonstrate that, even images are fully embedded, fragile watermarking methods nearly have no effects on the recognition performance, while semi-fragile water marking methods which embed watermark in the visually important components of images have larger effects onthe recognition performance.

Score normalization in multimodal biometric systems
TL;DR: Study of the performance of different normalization techniques and fusion rules in the context of a multimodal biometric system based on the face, fingerprint and hand-geometry traits of a user found that the application of min-max, z-score, and tanh normalization schemes followed by a simple sum of scores fusion method results in better recognition performance compared to other methods.
