One of the most challenging problems in fingerprint recognition continues to be establishing the identity of a suspect associated with partial and smudgy fingerprints left at a crime scene (i.e., latent prints or fingermarks). Despite the…
We present a novel angular fingerprinting algorithm for detecting changes in the direction of rotation of a target with a monostatic, stationary sonar platform. Unlike other approaches, we assume that the target's centroid is stationary,…
Fixed-length fingerprint representations, which map each fingerprint to a compact and fixed-size feature vector, are computationally efficient and well-suited for large-scale matching. However, designing a robust representation that…
Source camera identification tools assist image forensic investigators to associate an image in question with a suspect camera. Various techniques have been developed based on the analysis of the subtle traces left in the images during the…
This paper introduces a novel fingerprint classification technique based on a multi-layered fuzzy logic classifier. We target the cause of missed detection by identifying the fingerprints at an early stage among dry, standard, and wet.…
Perspective distortion (PD) causes unprecedented changes in shape, size, orientation, angles, and other spatial relationships of visual concepts in images. Precisely estimating camera intrinsic and extrinsic parameters is a challenging task…
We present a new approach using differential invariants to detect projective equivalences and symmetries between two rational parametric $3D$ curves properly parametrized. In order to do this, we introduce two differential invariants that…

Fingerprints feature a ridge pattern with moderately varying ridge frequency (RF), following an orientation field (OF), which usually features some singularities. Additionally at some points, called minutiae, ridge lines end or fork and…
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,…
Identifying when different images are of the same object despite changes caused by imaging technologies, or processes such as growth, has many applications in fields such as computer vision and biological image analysis. One approach to…
