Definition
Multibiometrics is the automated recognition of individuals based on their biological or behavioral characteristics and involving the use of information fusion. Some applications of biometrics require a level of technical performance and flexibility that is difficult to obtain with a single biometric measure. Preventing illegitimate multiple applications by the same individual for national identity cards (also known as duplicate enrolment checking or de-duplication) and border control are examples of such applications. Other applications, such as electronic voting or access control to civil facilities, require a level of functionality provision (availability) that facilitates people who are unable to give a reliable biometric sample for some biometric modalities. Use of multiple biometric measurements from substantially independent biometric captures, instances, sensors, algorithms, or...
