Near-range portrait photographs often contain perspective distortion artifacts that bias human perception and challenge both facial recognition and reconstruction techniques. We present the first deep learning based approach to remove such…

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;…

Skin distortion is a long standing challenge in fingerprint matching, which causes false non-matches. Previous studies have shown that the recognition rate can be improved by estimating the distortion field from a distorted fingerprint and…

Fingerprints are one of the most widely explored biometric traits. Specifically, contact-based fingerprint recognition systems reign supreme due to their robustness, portability and the extensive research work done in the field. However,…

In order to make 3D fingerprints compatible with traditional 2D flat fingerprints, a common practice is to unfold the 3D fingerprint into a 2D rolled fingerprint, which is then matched with the flat fingerprints by traditional 2D…

Contactless fingerprint recognition offers a higher level of user comfort and addresses hygiene concerns more effectively. However, it is also more vulnerable to presentation attacks such as photo paper, paper-printout, and various display…

Recovering the 3D structure of an object from a single image is a challenging task due to its ill-posed nature. One approach is to utilize the plentiful photos of the same object category to learn a strong 3D shape prior for the object.…

Despite significant progress in monocular depth estimation in the wild, recent state-of-the-art methods cannot be used to recover accurate 3D scene shape due to an unknown depth shift induced by shift-invariant reconstruction losses used in…

Reconstructing and tracking deformable surface with little or no texture has posed long-standing challenges. Fundamentally, the challenges stem from textureless surfaces lacking features for establishing cross-image correspondences. In this…

Monocular 3D face reconstruction is a wide-spread topic, and existing approaches tackle the problem either through fast neural network inference or offline iterative reconstruction of face geometry. In either case carefully-designed energy…
