Credit Card Reader with Face Recognition Based on Webcam and Multimodal Biometrics

Abstract

This paper is focused on proposing a method for transactions on a credit card with face recognition using a web cam. This system initiates transfers based on detection/recognition of the face that is linked with the card. Considering the security issues in detail, when the visa card is used for the transactions, we just scan it which can cause lot of security issues if stolen or misplaced. With face recognition it will become secure and safe, giving a two-step verification. Now considering multimodal biometrics, the paper focuses on face-iris multimodal biometrics. The iris recognition system is composed of segmentation, normalization, feature encoding, and matching. This is to be done to avoid the drawbacks that would occur with only face recognition.
