Robust Minutiae Extractor: Integrating Deep Networks and Fingerprint Domain Knowledge
We propose a fully automatic minutiae extractor, called MinutiaeNet, based on
deep neural networks with compact feature representation for fast comparison of
minutiae sets. Specifically, first a network, called CoarseNet, estimates the
minutiae score map and minutiae orientation based on convolutional neural
network and fingerprint domain knowledge (enhanced image, orientation field,
and segmentation map). Subsequently, another network, called FineNet, refines
the candidate minutiae locations based on score map. We demonstrate the
effectiveness of using the fingerprint domain knowledge together with the deep
networks. Experimental results on both latent (NIST SD27) and plain (FVC 2004)
public domain fingerprint datasets provide comprehensive empirical support for
the merits of our method. Further, our method finds minutiae sets that are
better in terms of precision and recall in comparison with state-of-the-art on
these two datasets. Given the lack of annotated fingerprint datasets with
minutiae ground truth, the proposed approach to robust minutiae detection will
be useful to train network-based fingerprint matching algorithms as well as for
evaluating fingerprint individuality at scale. MinutiaeNet is implemented in

Fingerprint Recognition in Biometric Security -A State of the Art
Today, because of the vulnerability of standard authentication system, law-breaking has accumulated within the past few years. Identity authentication that relies on biometric feature like face, iris, voice, hand pure mathematics, handwriting, retina, fingerprints will considerably decrease the fraud. so that they square measure being replaced by identity verification mechanisms. Among bioscience, fingerprint systems are one amongst most generally researched and used. it\'s fashionable due to their easy accessibility. during this paper we tend to discuss the elaborated study of various gift implementation define strategies together with their comparative measures and result analysis thus as realize a brand new constructive technique for fingerprint recognition
Face recognition technologies for evidential evaluation of video traces
Human recognition from video traces is an important task in forensic investigations and evidence evaluations. Compared with other biometric traits, face is one of the most popularly used modalities for human recognition due to the fact that its collection is non-intrusive and requires less cooperation from the subjects. Moreover, face images taken at a long distance can still provide reasonable resolution, while most biometric modalities, such as iris and fingerprint, do not have this merit. In this chapter, we discuss automatic face recognition technologies for evidential evaluations of video traces. We first introduce the general concepts in both forensic and automatic face recognition , then analyse the difficulties in face recognition from videos . We summarise and categorise the approaches for handling different uncontrollable factors in difficult recognition conditions. Finally we discuss some challenges and trends in face recognition research in both forensics and biometrics . Given its merits tested in many deployed systems and great potential in other emerging applications, considerable research and development efforts are expected to be devoted in face recognition in the near future
