Towards Billion-scale Multi-modal Biometric Search

ArXi:2605.07655v1 Announce Type: cross Searching a multi-biometric database of a billion records for a country-level identity system requires pushing the limits of all aspects of a biometric system, including acquisition, preprocessing, feature extraction, accuracy, matching speed, presentation attack detection, and handling of special cases (e.g., missing finger digits). This is the first paper that gives insights into such a large-scale multimodal biometric search system, called Bharat ABIS, based on open-source architectures.
