Multimodal biometric-based recognition has been an active topic because of its higher convenience in recent years. Due to high user convenience of finger, finger-based personal identification has been widely used in practice. Hence, taking Finger-Print (FP), Finger-Vein (FV) and Finger-Knuckle-Print (FKP) as the ingredients of characteristic, their feature representation were helpful for improving the universality and reliability in identification. To usefully fuse the multimodal finger-features together, a new robust representation algorithm was proposed based on hierarchical model. Firstly, to obtain more robust features, the feature maps were obtained by Gabor magnitude feature coding and then described by Local Binary Pattern (LBP). Secondly, the LGBP-based feature maps were processed hierarchically in bottom-up mode by variable rectangle and circle granules, respectively. Finally, the intension of each granule was represented by Local-invariant Gray Features (LGFs) and called Hierarchical Local-Gabor-based Gray Invariant Features (HLGGIFs). Experiment results revealed that the proposed algorithm is capable of improving rotation variation of finger-pose, and achieving lower Equal Error Rate (EER) in our homemade database.

지문인식 시스템이란 저장되어서 가지고 있는 지문data와 지금 현재sensor로 입력받은 지문data의 유사도를 측정하는 system이다. 현 시대의 보안에 관한 요구가 많아지면서, 개인password나PIN(Personal Identification Number)같이 외워서 사용해야만 하는 불편함이 없고, 본인임을 쉽게 증명할 수 있는 생체정보를 이용한 ID system이 각광을 받고 있다. 이러한 상황 속에서 가장 손쉽게 접할 수 있는Finger-print Identification system을 구현할 것이다. 지문인식 시스템은 sensor의 방식에 따라 여러가지로 분류되는데, 본 논문에서는 광학방식 센서를 이용한 지문인식 시스템을 구현 하였다. 본 지문인식 시스템은 처음 지문영상을 센서로 입력 받고 그 입력된 영상을 전처리(pre-processing)해서 지문의 특징점을 추출한다. 이렇게 특징점들을 획득한 후, 후처리(post-processing)과정을 거쳐서 database에 저장 한다. 이렇게 지문영상의database를 구성한 후, 비교하고자 하는 지문영상을 센서로 입력 받아 지문영상을 획득할 때와 같은 processing과정을 거치고, 그 결과물과 database에 저장되어있는 지문과 1:N matching을 한다. 이렇게 해서 유사한 지문영상을 유사도에 따라 출력한다.

This paper proposes an algorithm for fingerprint identification using phase only correlation. This algorithm uses the phase of fast Fourier transform and correlation function to calculate the similarity. The algorithm gives very clear result for identification because it shows only one conspicuous sharp peak for the same person's fingerprint. Further, it shows good results even for the finger print images which are printed not clearly and does not need to preprocess the images. It also shows good results for parallel displacement of fingerprint. The experiment result shows the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

A wide range of applications for Foot Print Recognition System is discussed in this paper. The whole concept works under the principle that foot print is a parameter associated with biometrics that is very common as well as distinct. Its foremost application is at the government hospitals in the under developed and third world nations where there aren't the best of facilities. This system can be applied in the maternity ward of the hospitals for the identification or differentiation of the infants. Till date there has been no specialized system adopted for this purpose. The Foot Print Recognition System will overcome all the defects of any biometrics when applied here. Since the child will be very delicate for an iris scan and it will not be able to open its eyes wide or to correctly place its finger print on the sensor since the hands of a new born infant will be closed for a while. The Foot Print Recognition system can also be implemented in temples where there are cases of theft often reported. This can be used to grant access to the karpagraham of the deity by authorized users alone. These 2 applications of FPRS are discussed in this paper.

In this paper, Fingerprint matching method which is able to confirm one's identity using microcomputer is discussed. In matching method, fingerprint image is thinned and we extracted feature point data which is composed of position and direction of end-point and branch-point. Identification is conducted by decision of disagreement between reference finger print and input fingerprint us ing this extracted data. After averaging and binariztion process, thining method is conducted. Restoration process is carried out to seek precise feature pointdatd. We compensate position difference of reference fingerprint and input fingerprint, which is divied end-point and branch-point, and translated and rotated its position. Using this compensdate difference of position, we decide whether fingerp-print identity is true or not.

Recently, biometric techniques such as face recognition, finger-print recognition and iris recognition have been widely applied for various applications including door access control, finance security and electric passport. This paper presents the method of using finger-vein pattern for the personal identification. In general, when the finger-vein image is acquired from the camera, various conditions such as the penetrating amount of the infrared light and the camera noise make the segmentation of the vein from the background difficult. This in turn affects the system performance of personal identification. To solve this problem, we propose the novel and fast method for extracting the finger-vein region. The proposed method has two advantages compared to the previous methods. One is that we adopt a locally adaptive thresholding method for the binarization of acquired finger-vein image. Another advantage is that the simple morphological opening and closing are used to remove the segmentation noise to finally obtain the finger-vein region from the skeletonization. Experimental results showed that our proposed method could quickly and exactly extract the finger-vein region without using various kinds of time-consuming filters for preprocessing.

The registration cards that are currently used to identify the people of Korea may cause secondary damage once stolen because they contain very specifically expressed fingerprint information. In order to solve this problem, in ID is required that can utilize the state-owned fingerprint DB, while while maintaining confidentiality of the identification information and satisfying the cost as well. At this point accordingly, a secure form of ID, which uses the encrypted QR code and fingerprint information, is proposed.

본 논문에서는 자율신경망 중 ART2(Adaptive Resonance Theory 2)를 이용하여 지문의 매칭알고리즘에 적용하였다. 지문의 영상을 센서로부터 입력 받아, 전 처리와 후처리 과정을 거친 후 각각의 지문에 대한 특징값을 구하고, 지문 영상을 분류 및 매칭 할 수 있도록 하였다. 다음으로 제시한 알고리즘을 바탕으로 PC(Personal Computer) 없이 독립적으로 사용 할 수 있는 실시간 임베디드 지문 인식 시스템을 구현 하였다. 실시간 임베디드 지문 인식 시스템 설계에 있어 크기와 기능면을 고려해 메인 모듈의 프로세서로 최근 신호 처리에 많이 사용되고 있는 DSP(Digital Signal Processor)를 사용 하였으며, 지문을 입력 받기 위한 센서로는 반도체 지문 센서를 사용하였다. 메인 모듈과 센서를 가지고 간단한 디스플레이 및 통신 테스트를 위해 PIC Micro-Processor를 사용해 컨트롤 보드를 제작하여 간단한 인식 테스트를 하였다. 제작한 보드를 가지고 다양한 어플리케이션이 가능하나, 본 논문에서는 하드웨어나 소프트웨어 개발에 사용 가능한 RDK(Reference Design Kit)를 최종으로 구현하였다.

Current discriminating technique of rice variety is known to be not objective till this time because of depending on naked eye of well trained inspector. DNA finger print method based on genetic character of rice has been indicated inappropriate for on-site application, because the method need much labor and skilled expert. The purpose of this study was to develops the identification technique of polished rice varieties using CCD camera images. To minimize the noise of the captured image, thresholding and median filtering were carried out, and edge was extracted from the image data. Image data after pretreatment of normalize and FFT(fast fourier transform) were used for library model and feedforward backpropagation neural network model. Image processing technique using CCD camera could discriminate the variety of rice with high accuracy in case of quite different rice of shape, but the accuracy was reached at 85% in the similar shape of rice.

We propose a design and analysis of an optical system using a prism with a high enough refractive index for wet fingerprint identification. Important parameters including the tilting angle($\beta$) of the $1^{st}$ image plane, an anamorphic distortion, and a tilt of image plane are considered in terms of the apex angle of the prism($\alpha$) and refractive index of the prism material. Our suggestion on refractive index and apex angle of the prism corroborates well with experimental results.
