The fingerprint image quality relies on the clearness of separated ridges by valleys and the uniformity of the separation. The condition of skin still dominate the overall quality of the fingerprint. However, the identification performance of such system is very sensitive to the quality of the captured fingerprint image. Fingerprint image quality analysis and enhancement are useful in improving the performance of fingerprint identification systems. A fuzzy technique is introduced in this paper for both fingerprint image quality analysis and enhancement. First, the quality analysis is performed by extracting four features from a fingerprint image which are the local clarity score (LCS), global clarity score (GCS), ridge_valley thickness ratio (RVTR), and the Global Contrast Factor (GCF). A fuzzy logic technique that uses Mamdani fuzzy rule model is designed. The fuzzy inference system is able to analyse and determinate the fingerprint image type (oily, dry or neutral) based on the extracted feature values and the fuzzy inference rules. The percentages of the test fuzzy inference system for each type is as follow: For dry fingerprint the percentage is 81.33, for oily the percentage is 54.75, and for neutral the percentage is 68.48. Secondly, a fuzzy morphology is applied to enhance the dry and oily fingerprint images. The fuzzy morphology method improves the quality of a fingerprint image, thus improving the performance of the fingerprint identification system significantly. All experimental work which was done for both quality analysis and image enhancement was done using the DB_ITS_2009 database which is a private database collected by the department of electrical engineering, institute of technology Sepuluh Nopember Surabaya, Indonesia. The performance evaluation was done using the Feature Similarity index (FSIM). Where the FSIM is an image quality assessment (IQA) metric, which uses computational models to measure the image quality consistently with subjective evaluations. The new proposed system outperformed the classical system by 900% for the dry fingerprint images and 14% for the oily fingerprint images.

대용량 지문 데이터베이스를 사용하는 지문인식 시스템에서 처리 속도와 정확성을 높이기 위해서는 지문을 클래스별로 카테고리화하는 지문분류 기술을 사용해야 한다. 지문분류 방법은 지문 융선으로부터 특징을 추출하고 지문 융선의 흐름과 형상에 따라 정의되어 있는 클래스를 기준으로 학습 및 추론 기법을 이용하여 분류한다. 기존에는 종이에 회전 날인하여 습득된 NIST 데이터베이스를 이용한 연구가 많이 수행되었지만, 지문인식 입력 센서를 이용한 자동화된 시스템이 보편화됨에 따라 FVC에서 공개한 지문 데이터와 같이 센서로부터 입력된 지문 이미지를 이용한 연구가 증가하고 있으며, 최근에는 딥러닝을 이용한 지문분류 방법이 제안되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 지문분류를 위한 특징 추출 및 분류 기술의 동향을 살펴보고 분류성능을 비교한다. 또한 센서 기반 지문 이미지의 다양한 품질을 고려한 지문분류 기술 연구의 필요성에 대하여 정리하고, 딥러닝 기술을 적용한 지문분류 방법을 분석해 봄으로써 지속적으로 사용이 증가되고 있는 대용량 지문 데이터베이스의 분류 기술 연구에 대한 성능향상에 보탬이 되고자 한다.

Recently the fingerprint is widely used as one of biometrics to improve the security of financial mobile applications, because of its user convenience and high recognition rate. However, in order to apply fingerprint algorithms to finance and security applications, the recognition rate and processing speed of the fingerprint algorithms have to be improved further. In this paper, we propose the parallel fingerprint enhancement algorithm on general-purpose computing on graphics processing unit (GPGPU) using OpenCL. We discuss the analysis of the parallelism in the fingerprint algorithm as well as the exploration of optimization parameters of the parallel fingerprint algorithm to improve the performance. The experimental results showed that the execution of parallel fingerprint enhancement algorithm on GPGPUs was accelerated from 29.4 upto 69.2 times compared with the execution of the original one on the host CPUs.

Fingerprint recognition using a joint transform correlator (JTC) is the most well-known technology among optical fingerprint recognition methods. The JTC method optically compares the reference fingerprint image with the sample fingerprint image then examines match or non-match by acquiring a correlation peak. In contrast to the JTC method, this paper presents a new method to examine fingerprint recognition by producing a computer generated hologram (CGH) of those two fingerprint images and directly comparing them. As a result, we present some parameters to show that fingerprint recognition capability of the CGH direct comparison method is superior to that of the JTC method.

Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) fingerprint analysis, Principle Components Analysis (PCA), and Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA) were introduced for quality assessment of Curcuma longa L. (C. longa). The GC-MS fingerprint method was developed and validated by analyzing 33 batches of samples of C. longa from different geographic locations. 18 chromatographic peaks were selected as characteristic peaks and their relative peak areas (RPA) were calculated for quantitative expression. Two principal components (PCs) were extracted by PCA. C. longa collected from Guizhou and Fujian were separated from other samples by PC1, capturing 71.83% of variance. While, PC2 contributed for their further separation, capturing 11.13% of variance. HCA confirmed the result of PCA analysis. Therefore, GC-MS fingerprint study with chemometric techniques provides a very flexible and reliable method for quality assessment of C. longa.

본 논문에서는 지문영상의 향상을 위한 방향성 필터링의 새로운 기법을 제안한다. 지문영상은 융선의 규칙적인 열의 방향성 맵으로 구성되어 있으며, 융선의 주방향성은 지문영상의 주요 특징점을 추출하기 위한 융선의 연결이나 잡음의 제거 등 지문영상의 전처리과정에 매우 중요하다. 방향성대역 통과 필터뱅크(Directional Filter Bank ; FB)는 입력영상을 주파수의 성분이 아닌 방향성 성분으로 분해한 다음, 이 대역영상으로부터 원영상을 완전하게 복원하는 필터이다. 본 논문은 DFB를 이용하여 지문영상을 방향성 대역 영상으로 분해하여 이를 처리한 후 복원함으로써 지문영상을 향상시키는 알고리듬을 제안한다.

Interest in music recognition has been growing dramatically after NHN and Daum released their mobile applications for music recognition in 2010. Methods in music recognition based on audio analysis fall into two categories: music recognition using audio fingerprint and Query-by-Singing/Humming (QBSH). While music recognition using audio fingerprint receives music as its input, QBSH involves taking a user-hummed melody. In this paper, research trends are described for music recognition using audio fingerprint, focusing on two methods: one based on fingerprint generation using energy difference between consecutive bands and the other based on hash key generation between peak points. Details presented in the representative papers of each method are introduced.

This paper proposes an efficient method for recognizing the fingerprint using the extracted features by adaptive principal component analysis(PCA). The adaptive PCA is implemented by a single-layer neural network for extracting the linear features of fingerprint data. And, the extracted data are transformed into binary data for reducing storage space and transmission time. The proposed method has been applied to recognize the 100 fingerprint data. The simulation results show that the recognitions are all successful and capable of about ${\pm}8^{\circ}$ rotated data.

최근 지문 인식을 통한 사용자 인증 기술이 상용화 되면서 위조 지문 이미지 판별이 더욱 중요해졌다. 본 논문에서는 CNN 특징을 이용한 위조 지문 이미지 판별 방법을 제안하였으며, CNN 모델이 실제 지문의 어느 부분에 반응하여 위조지문을 분류하는지 시각화 방법을 통해 분석하였다. 제안하는 방법은 지문영역과 배경영역을 분리하는 전처리 작업 후 CNN 모델을 이용하여 지문의 위조여부를 분류한다. 지문을 단순히 생체지문과 위조지문으로 분류하는 것이 아니라 위조지문을 구성하는 물질별로 분류하여 생체지문과 위조지문들에 대한 특징분석을 제공한다. 실험에 사용한 데이터베이스로는 생체 지문 이미지 6500여 장과 위조 지문 이미지 6000여 장으로 구성되어 있는 LivDet2013을 사용하였으며 위조여부에 대한 ACE 값으로 3.1%, 구성 물질 분류 정확도는 평균 79.58%를 보여 높은 수준의 분류성능을 갖고 있음을 확인하였다.
