Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

The primary goal of this study is to provide a robust validation for biometric systems. When compared to unimodal biometrics, which use just one biometric feature, such as a unique finger print, facial feature, or palm print, multimodal validation provides a higher level of confirmation. In this paper, we use an individual's distinctive fingerprint as a watermark that is installed in the desired locations of the facial image of that individual that is captured with the aid of using a camera. This is accomplished by using a technique known as the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). Between unwatermarked and watermarked face images, there is a significant serious level of visual relationship. Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Mean Squared Error (MSE) procedures have been compared to and evaluated by the proposed watermarking strategy.
