Compression techniques can be applied to large-scale fingerprint systems to store or transmit fingerprint data efficiently. In this paper, we investigate the effects of FBI WSQ fingerprint image compression on the performance of a fingerprint verification system using multiple linear regressions. We propose a maximum compression using fingerprint image quality score. Based on the experiments, we can confirm that the proposed approach can compress the fingerprint images up to 3 times more than the fixed compression ratio without significant degradation of the verification accuracy.

최근 키를 가지고 다니는 불편함과 보안성을 고려한 전자 키들이 많이 생산되고 있다. 키의 불편함과 보안성을 보완하는 방법에는 비밀번호 입력, 지문인식, 홍체인식 등의 방법이 이용되고 있는데, 본 논문에서는 비밀번호를 입력하는 방법으로 설계하였다. Altera사의 Software인 MAXPLUS II를 이용하여 설계하였고, Hardware Language인 VHDL을 이용하였다.

인간이 기계를 운용하기 위해서는 인간의 의사를 적절한 방법으로 기계에 입력하여야 하고 명령에 따른 기계의 작동을 때맞추어 알아볼 수 있어야 한다. 이러한 인간과 기계간의 소통(interface)의 대표적인 예를 컴퓨터에서 찾을 수 있다. 인간이 컴퓨터와 소통하는 가장 전형적인 방법은 자판과 마우스, 그리고 모니터를 통한 입출력이다. 스캐너 펜이나 보이스 펜, 착용형 마우스, 또는 카드 리더기나 바코드 입력기, 지문 감식기와 같은 보다 전문적인 입력기기도 존재하며, 별도의 입력기기를 사용하지 않고 직접 음성으로 컴퓨터를 제어하는 음성인식 시스템 또한 활용단계에 이르렀다.

In the paper we propose and implement a new indoor localization system where the techniques of magnetic field based fingerprinting and pedestrian dead reckoning are combined. First, we determine a target's location by comparing acquired magnetic field values with a magnetic field map containing pre-collected field values at different locations and choosing the location having the closest value. As the target moves, we use pedestrian dead reckoning to estimate the expected moving path, reducing the maximum positioning error of the initial location. The system eliminates the problem of localization error accumulation in pedestrian dead reckoning with the help of the fingerprinting and does not require Wi-Fi AP infrastructure, enabling cost-effective localization solution.

Among the procedure of automatic fingerprint recognition, binary code is important for the optimum thinning and singular point extraction while reserving the fingerprint image data. Binarization is to convert gray scale images into 0s and 255s values. For this conversion, you should set up the proper threshold value not to lose fingerprint image data. In this paper, we suggest the method to extract the standard threshold in real-time from fingerprint images entered by applying artificial intelligent methods in the binary code procedure. We show improved features while comparing the experiment results with the existing methods.

This paper presents a new algorithm of fingerprint image analysis and processing using directional filter bank(DFB). The directional components of ridge is very important in pre-processing steps of fingerprint image processing such as image enhancement by directional filtering followed by estimationg the directional image of ridge patterns. The DFB analyzes input image into directional subband images and synthesizes them to the perfectly reconstructed image. In this paper, a new fingerprint processing algorithm using the DFB is proposed. The algorithm decomposes the fingerprint image into directional subband images and performs directional map generation, foreground segmentation, singular points extraction and image enhancement based on local directional energy estimate.

Minutiae-based fingerprint identification systems use minutiae points, which cannot completely characterize local ridge structures. Further, this method requires many methods for matching two fingerprint images containing different number of minutiae points. Therefore, to represent the fired length information for one fingerprint image, the filterbank-based method was proposed as an alternative to minutiae-based fingerprint representation. However, it has two shortcomings. One shortcoming is that similar feature vectors are extracted from the different fingerprints which have the same fingerprint type. Another shortcoming is that this method has overload to reduce the rotation error in the fingerprint image acquisition. In this paper, we propose the minutia-weighted feature vector extraction method that gives more weight in extracting feature value, if the region has minutiae points. Also, we Propose new fingerprint alignment method that uses the average local orientations around the reference point. These methods improve the fingerprint system's Performance and speed, respectively. Experimental results indicate that the proposed methods can reduce the FRR of the filterbank-based fingerprint matcher by approximately 0.524% at a FAR of 0.967%, and improve the matching performance by 5% in ERR. The system speed is over 1.28 times faster.

In this paper, we propose a new automatic fingerprint identification system that identifies individuals in large databases. The algorithm consists of three steps; preprocessing, classification, and matching, in the classification. we present a new classification technique based on the statistical approach for directional image distribution. In matching, we also describe improved minutiae candidate pair extraction algorithm that is faster and more accurate than existing algorithm. In matching stage, we extract fingerprint minutiaes from its thinned image for accuracy, and introduce matching process using minutiae linking information. Introduction of linking information into the minutiae matching process is a simple but accurate way, which solves the problem of reference minutiae pair selection in comparison stage of two fingerprints quickly. This algorithm is invariant to translation and rotation of fingerprint. The proposed system was tested on 1000 fingerprint images from the semiconductor chip style scanner. Experimental results reveal false acceptance rate is decreased and genuine acceptance rate is increased than existing method.

Fingerprint sensor interoperability refers to the ability of a system to compensate for the variability introduced in the finger data of individual due to the deployment of different sensors. The purpose of this paper is the development of a compensation algorithm by which the interoperability of fingerprint recognition can be improved among various different fingerprint sensors. In this paper we show that a simple transformation derived to form a Taylor series expansion can be used in conjunction with a set of corresponding minutia points to improve the correspondence of finer fingerprint details within a fingerprint image. This is demonstrated by an applying the transformation to a database of fingerprint images and examining the minutiae match scores with and without the transformation. The EER of the proposed method was improved by average 60.94% better than before compensation.

최근 생체인식제품 시장이 활성화됨에 따라 생체인식제품에 대한 객관적인 성능평가가 절실히 요구되고 있는 상황이다. 이미 국외에서는 이러한 추세에 따라 지문, 얼굴, 홍채, 음성 등 각 생체인식제품에 대한 성능평가 기술을 개발하고 있으며, 자국의 생체인식제품에 대한 성능을 개선하는데 도움을 주고 있다. 현재 국내의 경우는 생체인식제품에 대한 객관적인 성능평가 연구기반이 취약한 상태이며, 개발자 자신에 의한 주관적인 평가방법에 따라 자체 시험을 하는데 머물고 있는 실정이다. 이에 따라 본 고에서는 우선적으로 지문인식제품에 대한 국내 적용 가능한 성능평가 항목과 평가방법을 제시하기 위하여 광학식, 반도체식, 열감지식 입력센서별 온도, 습도, 압력, 기만성 측정방법과 인식알고리즘에 대한 성능측정방법을 분석하였다.
