Abstract

Recent studies show that fingerprint recognition technology is confronted with spoofing of artificial fingers. In order to overcome this problem, the fingerprint recognition system needs to distinguish a fake finger from a live finger. This paper examines existing software-based approaches for fingerprint liveness detection through experiments. Implemented and tested in this paper are the approaches based on deformation, wavelet, and perspiration. These approaches will be analyzed and compared based on experimental results.
