Abstract

This paper presents a new feature extraction method known as Pulse Active Harmonic (PAH) implemented on electrocardiograph (ECG) signals for biometric authentication. This technique is developed based on the combination concept of modulation process and Fourier series. A total of 486 ECGs from 113 subjects, taken from the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) database are used in the simulations. Biometric performance profile such as the area under ROC (AUR) and equal error rate (EER) are then used to evaluate the results. It is shown in this study that PAH outperforms the conventional temporal feature extraction techniques.
