5.4 Experimental Results<br />

In this chapter, we have combined face and fingerprint features at decision level. We<br />

have used PIE [5] and ORL [3] databases for face. We have labeled F PA and F PB as<br />

fingerprint databases acquired from the FVC (Fingerprint Verification Competition)<br />

2002 [1] and 2004 website [2]. Both the fingerprint databases have 10 subjects with 8<br />

images per subject. So we have selected 10 persons from both PIE and ORL databases<br />

with 42 and 10 images per subject respectively. Assuming that face and fingerprint<br />

are statistically independent for an individual, we have associated an individual from<br />

face database with an individual from fingerprint database to create a virtual subject.<br />

Now each database is divided into three disjoint sets namely train set, validation set<br />

and test set. Table 5.1 and Table 5.2 show the distribution <strong>of</strong> images per subject for<br />

the train, validation and test sets for face and fingerprint respectively, as used in our<br />

experimentation.<br />
