Contactless fingerprint identification has emerged as an reliable and user friendly alternative for the personal identification in a range of e-business and law-enforcement applications. It is however quite known from the literature that…
Much of the success of fingerprint recognition is attributed to minutiae-based fingerprint representation. It was believed that minutiae templates could not be inverted to obtain a high fidelity fingerprint image, but this assumption has…
Market research indicates that fingerprints are still the most popular biometric modality for personal authentication. Even with the onset of new modalities (e.g. vein matching), many applications within different domains (e-ID, banking,…
Forensic applications like criminal investigations, terrorist identification and National security issues require a strong fingerprint data base and efficient identification system. In this paper we propose DWT based Fingerprint Recognition…
Identification of a person from fingerprints of good quality has been used by commercial applications and law enforcement agencies for many years, however identification of a person from latent fingerprints is very difficult and…
The vulnerabilities of fingerprint-based recognition systems to direct attacks with and without the cooperation of the user are studied. Two different systems, one minutiae-based and one ridge feature-based, are evaluated on a database of…
Partial fingerprint recognition is a method to recognize an individual when the sensor size has a small form factor in accepting a full fingerprint. It is also used in forensic research to identify the partial fingerprints collected from…
Evaluation of large-scale fingerprint search algorithms has been limited due to lack of publicly available datasets. To address this problem, we utilize a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) to synthesize a fingerprint dataset consisting…
The effectiveness of fingerprint-based authentication systems on good quality fingerprints is established long back. However, the performance of standard fingerprint matching systems on noisy and poor quality fingerprints is far from…
Minutia Cylinder Codes (MCC) are minutiae based fingerprint descriptors that take into account minutiae information in a fingerprint image for fingerprint matching. In this paper, we present a modification to the underlying information of…
We learn a discriminative fixed length feature representation of fingerprints which stands in contrast to commonly used unordered, variable length sets of minutiae points. To arrive at this fixed length representation, we embed fingerprint…
Latent fingerprint has the practical value to identify the suspects who have unintentionally left a trace of fingerprint in the crime scenes. However, designing a fully automated latent fingerprint matcher is a very challenging task as it…
Fingerprints are popular among the biometric based systems due to ease of acquisition, uniqueness and availability. Nowadays it is used in smart phone security, digital payment and digital locker. The traditional fingerprint matching…
Fingerprint recognition and matching is a common form of user authentication. While a fingerprint is unique to each individual, authentication is vulnerable when an attacker can forge a copy of the fingerprint (spoof). To combat these…
The effect of image quality degradation on the verification performance of automatic fingerprint recognition is investigated. We study the performance of two fingerprint matchers based on minutiae and ridge information under varying…
We introduce a new fixed-length representation of fingerprint minutiae, for use in template protection. It is similar to the `spectral minutiae' representation of Xu et al. but is based on coordinate differences between pairs of minutiae.…
The fingerprint classification problem is to sort fingerprints into pre-determined groups, such as arch, loop, and whorl. It was asserted in the literature that minutiae points, which are commonly used for fingerprint matching, are not…
Compared to contact fingerprint images, contactless fingerprint images exhibit four distinct characteristics: (1) they contain less noise; (2) they have fewer discontinuities in ridge patterns; (3) the ridge-valley pattern is less distinct;…
Fingerprint recognition systems have been deployed globally in numerous applications including personal devices, forensics, law enforcement, banking, and national identity systems. For these systems to be socially acceptable and…
Biometric recognition is the process of verifying or classifying human characteristics in images or videos. It is a complex task that requires machine learning algorithms, including convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and Siamese networks.…
