This paper presents an approach for optimizing both recognition and processing performance of a biometric system in identification mode. Multibiometric techniques facilitate bridging the gap between desired performance and current unimodal recognition rates. However, traditional parallel classifier combination techniques, such as Score sum, Borda count and Highest rank, cause further processing overhead, as they require a matching of the extracted sample with each template of the system for each feature. We examine a framework of serial combination techniques, which exploits ranking capabilities of individual features by reducing the set of possible matching candidates at each iteration, and we compare its performance with parallel schemes. Using this technique, both a reduction of misclassification and processing time in identification mode will be shown to be feasible for a single-sensor hand-based biometric system. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2009.
