This paper presents an approach for the personal authentication using rank-level fusion of multispectral palmprints, instead of using multiple biometric modalities and multiple matchers. The rank level fusion involving the non linear combination of hyperbolic tangent functions gives the best recognition rate for the Rank 1 obtained from two types of features, viz., sigmoid and fuzzy. The results of using rank level fusion on the publicly available multispectral palmprint database show the significant improvement in the recognition rate as compared to the individual spectral bands. Recognition rate of 99.4% from sigmoid features and that of 99.2% from fuzzy features based on Rank 1 is the outcome of the hyperbolic tangent nonlinearity.
