This study is concerned with analysing face-ocular multimodal biometric systems for a person gender prediction. Particularly, this is the first study considering fusion of face and ocular biometrics to predict gender of a person via a hybrid multimodal scheme. The authors aim to investigate the effect of multimodal biometric systems at score and feature-level fusion on gender classification. The implementation of uniformlocalbinarypattern (ULBP) featureextractor is taken into account to extract the face and ocular texture information. This paper proposes to select the efficient feature sets of both modalities using a novel evolutionary algorithm called backtracking search algorithm (BSA). On the other hand, support vector machine (SVM) is applied for classification purpose using the fused face and ocular features and scores. The proposed scheme is validated using CASIA-Iris-Distance and MBGC multimodal biometric databases with consideration of a subject-disjoint training and testing evaluation. The achieved gender recognition demonstrates the superiority of the hybrid multimodal face-ocular scheme over unimodal face and ocular schemes implemented in this study for a subject gender prediction.
