As the technical demand for biometrics is increasing, users expect that fingerprint recognition systems are operable with various fingerprint readers. However, current commercial off-the-shelf fingerprint recognition systems are no interoperable due to the lack of standardization in application program interfaces for fingerprint readers. A cross-matching fingerprint recognition system is a person authentication system based on fingerprints and utilizing different types of fingerprint readers. It should be able to overcome variations in fingerprint images acquired by different readers, such as the size, resolution, contrast of images. The purpose of this research is to develop across-matching fingerprint recognition system for fingerprint research of different sensing mechanism. The fingerprint readers tested in this study are optical, semiconductor and thermal sensor modules, and the prpoposed cross-matching system utilizes both a minutiae-based similarity and a ridge count-based similarity in matching fingerprint images acquired by different sensors.

Fast growth of smartphone technology and advent of Fintech enabled smartphones to deal with more sensitive information. Although many devices applying biometric technology are released as a step for protecting sensitive information securely, there can be potential vulnerabilities if security is not considered at the design stage of a biometric system. By analyzing the potential vulnerabilities, we classify threats in biometric system design process on smartphones and we propose the design requirements for solving these problems. In addition, we propose a framework for secure biometric system design on smartphone by synthesizing the design requirements.

Multivariate analysis and batch monitoring on a pilot-scale sequencing batch reactor (SBR) are described for integrated wastewater treatment management system, where a batchwise multiway independent component analysis method (MICA) are used to extract meaningful hidden information from non-Gaussian wastewater treatment data. Three-way batch data of SBR are unfolded batch-wisely, and then a non-Gaussian multivariate monitoring method is used to capture the non-Gaussian characteristics of normal batches in biological wastewater treatment plant. It is successfully applied to an 80L SBR for biological wastewater treatment, which is characterized by a variety of error sources with non-Gaussian characteristics. The batchwise multivariate monitoring results of a pilot-scale SBR for integrated wastewater treatment management system showed more powerful monitoring performance on a WWTP application than the conventional method since it can extract non-Gaussian source signals which are independent and cross-correlation of variables.

Biometric techniques have been widely used for various areas including criminal identification due to their reliability. However, they have some drawbacks when the biometric information is divulged to illegal users. This paper proposed multimodal biometric system using a real fuzzy vault by RN-ECC for protecting fingerprint and face template. This proposed method has some advantages to regenerate a key value compared with face or fingerprint based verification system having non-regenerative nature and to implement advanced biometric verification system by fusion of both fingerprint and face recognition. From the various experiments, we found that the proposed method shows high recognition rates comparing with the conventional methods.

Recently, the important of a personal identification is increasing according to expansion using each on-line commercial transaction and personal ID-card. Although a personal ID-card embedded RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) tag is gradually increased, the way for a person's identification is deficiency. So we need automatic methods. Because RFID tag is vary small storage capacity of memory, it needs effective feature extraction method to store personal biometrics information. We need new recognition method to compare each feature. In this paper, we studied the face verification system using Hippocampal neuron modeling algorithm which can remodel the hippocampal neuron as a principle of a man's brain in engineering, then it can learn the feature vector of the face images very fast. and construct the optimized feature each image. The system is composed of two parts mainly. One is feature extraction using NMF(Non-negative Matrix Factorization) and LDA(Linear Discriminants Analysis) mixture algorithm and the other is hippocampal neuron modeling and recognition simulation experiments confirm the each recognition rate, that are face changes, pose changes and low-level quality image. The results of experiments, we can compare a feature extraction and learning method proposed in this paper of any other methods, and we can confirm that the proposed method is superior to the existing method.

Many diverse methods have been developing in the field of biometric identification as human-friendliness has been emphasized in the intelligent system's area. One of emerging method is to use human footprint. Automated footprint-based person recognition was started by Nakajima et al.'s research but they showed relatively low recognition result by low spatial resolution of pressure sensor and standing posture. In this paper, we proposed a modified Nakajima's method to use walking footprint which could give more stable toe information than standing posture. Finally, we prove the usefulness of proposed method as 91.4tt recognition rate in 11 volunteers' test.

In this paper, we discuss a gait representation based on the width of silhouette in terms of discriminative power and robustness against the noise in silhouette image for gait recognition. Its sensitivity to the noise in silhouette image are rigorously analyzed using probabilistic noisy silhouette model. In addition, we develop a gait recognition system using width representation and identify subjects using the decision level fusion based on majority voting. Experiments on CASIA gait dataset A and the SOTON gait database demonstrate the recognition performance with respect to the noise level added to the silhouette image.

This paper is based on embedding the biometrics techniques on GPU for better computational efficiency and fast matching process using the parallel nature of the GPU processors to compare thousands of images for fingerprint recognition in a fraction of a second. In this paper we worked on GPU (INVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 with compute capability 1.3 and dual core-2-dou processor) for fingerprint matching and found that the efficiency is better than the results with related work already done on CMOS, CPU, ARM9, MATLAB Neural Networks etc which shows the better performance of our system in terms of computational time. The features matching process proposed for fingerprint recognition and the verification procedure is done on 5,000 images which are available online in the databases FVC2000, 2002, 2004 [1].
