For the existing security problem based on Fuzzy Vault algorithm, we propose a cancelable fingerprint template encryption scheme in this paper. The main idea is to firstly construct an irreversible transformation function, and then apply the function to transform the original template and template information is stored after conversion. Experimental results show it effectively prevents the attack from fingerprint template data and improves security of the system by using minutiae descriptor to encrypt abscissa of the vault. The experiment uses public FVC2004 fingerprint database to test, result shows that although the recognition rate of the proposed algorithm is slightly lower than the original program, but the improved algorithm security and complexity are better, and therefore the proposed algorithm is feasible in general.

In this paper, we propose a hybrid-recognition system to obtain the state information and control the Internet of Things (IoT) based smart devices using two recognitions. First, we use a facial recognition for checking the owner of the mobile devices, i.e., smartphones, tablet PCs, and so on, and obtaining the state information of the IoT based smart devices, i.e., smart cars, smart appliance, and so on, and then we use a fingerprint recognition to control them. Further, in the conventional system, the message of the state and control information between the mobile devices and smart devices is only exchanged through the cellar mobile network. Thus, we also propose a direct communication to reduce the total transmission time. In addition, we develop a testbed of the proposed system using smartphones, desktop computers, and Arduino vehicle as one of the smart devices. We evaluate the total transmission time between the conventional and direct communications and show that the direct communication with the proposed system has better performance.

In an automatic fingerprint recognition system, a thinning process after binarization is commonly used. However it gives rise to spurs and holes often causing many spurious minutiae. Thus, more elaborate postprocessing is urgently needed to remove such spurious minutiae. To overcome this problem, we present a method of extracting minutiae based on horizontal and vertical run-length encoding from a binary fingerprint image without thinning process. Experimental results show that the proposed method for extracting minutiae is fairly reliable and fast, when il is compared to other method adopting a thinning process.

This paper proposes a methodology to evaluate the quality and level of difficulty of fingerprint image databases, which leads to objective evaluation for the performance of fingerprint recognition system. Influencing factors to fingerprint matching are defined and the matching performance between two fingerprint images is evaluated using segmentation and orientation filed. In this study, a hierarchical processing method is proposed to measure an orientation field, which is able to improve the matching speed and accuracy. The results of experiments demonstrate that the defined influencing factors can describe the characteristics of fingerprint databases. Level of difficulty for fingerprint databases enables the performance of fingerprint recognition algorithms to be evaluated and compared even with different databases.

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 sensor. In order to compensate for the different characteristics of fingerprint sensor, an initial evaluation of the sensors using both the ink-stamped method and the flat artificial finger pattern method was undertaken. This paper proposes Common resolution method and Relative resolution method for compensating different resolution of fingerprint images captured by disparate sensors. Both methods can be applied to image-level and minutia-level. In order to compensate the direction of minutiae in minutia-level, Unit vector method is proposed. The EER of the proposed method was improved by average 64.8% better than before compensation. This paper will make a significant contribution to interoperability in the system integration using different sensors.

In this paper, we propose a motion and position recognition technique considering an experiential VR environment. Motion recognition attaches a plurality of AHRS devices to a body part and defines a coordinate system based on this. Based on the 9 axis motion information measured from each AHRS device, the user's motion is recognized and the motion angle is corrected by extracting the joint angle between the body segments. The location recognition extracts the walking information from the inertial sensor of the AHRS device, recognizes the relative position, and corrects the cumulative error using the BLE fingerprint. To realize the proposed motion and position recognition technique, AHRS-based position recognition and joint angle extraction test were performed. The average error of the position recognition test was 0.25m and the average error of the joint angle extraction test was $3.2^{\circ}$.

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.

Medical information is an important personal information for patients, and it must be protected. In particular, when medical personnel approach electronic medical records, authentication for enhanced security is essential. However, the existing public certificate-based certification model did not reflect the security characteristics of the electronic medical record(EMR) due to problems such as personal key management and authority delegation. In this study, we propose a fingerprint recognition-based authentication model with enhanced security to solve problems in the approach of the existing electronic medical record system. The proposed authentication model is an EMR system based on fingerprint recognition using PEMS (Private-key Escrow Management Server), which is applied with the private key commission protocol and the private key withdrawal protocol, enabling the problem of personal key management and authority delegation to be resolved at source. The performance experiment of the proposed certification model confirmed that the performance time was improved compared to the existing public certificate-based authentication, and the user's convenience was increased by recognizing fingerprints by replacing the electronic signature password.

In this paper, it was presented that broadly delivered scanner devices can also used in finger print recognition process and then modified existing steps of fingerprint image Processing. First, using the adaptive binary method, that effect was certified already, increased the effect of the results. And then, applying table mapping methods that looks for elements from look-up table, decreased the processing time, too. Finally, it was presented that ridge-direction characteristics extracted from these processes can used effectively In the area of fingerprint recognition system.
