There has been a growing concern among the community to find a automated solution to the

security issues. To build an intelligent building system robust in catching the intruders is an
important research area having impact on both commercial and domestic application space.
There has been significant improvement in authenticating persons taking one of the biometric
traits such as face, iris and fingerprint. Few other systems have been proposed with taking more
than one traits but limiting the number of people under consideration to be around 800-1000. The
performance of such systems degrade drastically with increase in the database size and
environmental conditions.
Automatic Face Recognition (AFR) For Intelligent Building Systems:
Automatic Face Recognition (AFR) System is an important component of any intelligent
building system. The inhabitants of a particular buildings can be easily detected and recognized
by the integrated system. Further, if any imposter happens to be entered the surveillance area
then system will alarm the security officials. Then using the other biometric features such as
fingerprint and Iris, more robust system can be built to cross verify the claims of the imposter.
Face detection and recognition is a challenging task to be performed considering the pose,
illumination, expression variations of faces. To design a real time system to perform face
recognition task under such unconstrained environment is currently the topic of interest for many
researchers. We are building a robust AFR system which can tackle all the unconstrained
challenges in real time without any severe degradation in its performance. The system provides
less necessity for user collaboration and easy to be acceptable by all.
Iris Authentication System For Intelligent Building Systems:
Iris Authentication System provides the tool to verify the claimed identity with the stored Iris
database. To detect an intruder, this is a reliable biometric techniques trading off the reliability
issues faced by automated face recognition system. We have integrated the Iris authentication
system with automated face recognition system to build a robust and compact biometric system
with excellent recognition accuracy.
Fingerprint Matching System For Intelligent Building Systems:
Fingerprint Matching System provides the facility to match the fingerprint of the person in doubt
with the stored fingerprint database. This is another reliable biometric technique which is
integrated into our system making the whole system free of any prone to error. The proposed
techniques requires the person to collaborate with the security officials after the recognition
system failed to identify the person based on face and iris to provide extra secured feature of
identification.

In the proposed integrated biometric system, we are targeting to provide a fully automated
biometric system with face recognition, iris authentication and fingerprint matching facilities.
The system can recognize faces in real time supported by NTSC (30 Frames/second)/PAL (25
Frames/second) standard with a database of 10000 population. It can also perform iris and
fingerprint based identification with an overall efficiency of 99%. To the best of our knowledge
there is no such integrated system reported to perform biometric identification combining the
traits of different parameters and targeting such a huge database.
The approximate cost of the system integrating multimodal biometric features is estimated to be
Rs. 1Lakhs/ system which is economical for a building targeting an approx. 100 families.
