Abstract
There are a lack of multi-modal biometric fusion guidelines at the feature-level. This paper investigates face and fingerprint features in the form of their strengths and weaknesses. This serves as a set of guidelines to authors that are planning face and fingerprint feature-fusion applications or aim to extend this into a general framework. The proposed guidelines were applied to the face and fingerprint to achieve a 91.11 % recognition accuracy when using only a single training sample. Furthermore, an accuracy of 99.69 % was achieved when using five training samples.
