Finger vein based biometric recognition has increasingly generated interest amongst biometric researchers because of the accuracy, robustness and anti-spoofing propertie. Prior efforts the are documented in the finger vein biometrics literature have only investigated the ventral vein pattern that is formed on the lower part of the finger underneath the skin surface. This paper investigates a new finger...
Deployments of biometric technologies are already widely disseminated, i.e. the protection of biometric reference data becomes vital in order to safeguard individuals’ privacy. Bio- metric template protection techniques are designed to protect biometric templates in an irreversible and unlinkable man- ner (ISO/IEC IS 24745). In addition, these schemes are re- quired to maintain key system properties,...
Recent research in texture-based ear recognition also indicates that ear detection and texture-based ear recognition are robust against signal degradation and encoding artefacts. Based on these findings, we further investigate and compare the performance of texture descriptors for ear recognition and seek to explore possibilities to complement texture descriptors with depth information. On the basis...
The ever wider application of automatic fingerprint recognition systems to law enforcement and immigration control purposes has motivated attempts to avoid identification by fingerprint alterations. The subjects can try to change their fingerprint patterns in many ways, varying from fingertip abrading, burning and cutting up to sophisticated surgical procedures, and therefore a necessity exists for...
We propose a new scheme for accurate contactless fingerprint recognition captured with smartphone cameras under various real-life scenarios. The proposed scheme can be structured using three building blocks namely: (1) finger segmentation (2) pre-processing and scaling (3) minutiae extraction and comparison. The proposed finger segmentation scheme is based on Mean Shift Segmentation (MSS) algorithm...
In identity retrieval from crime scene images, the outer ear (auricle) has ever since been regarded as a valuable characteristic. Because of its unique and permanent shape, the auricle also attracted the attention of researches in the field of biometrics over the last years. Since then, numerous pattern recognition techniques have been applied to ear images but similarly to face recognition, rotation...
