Since the introduction of CRT(Cathode Ray Tube) in the 1950s, display technologies have been developed continuously. Flat panel displays such as PDP(Plasma Display Panel) and LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) were commercialized in the late 1990s, and OLED(Organic Light Emitting Diodes) and Micro-LED(Micro-Light Emitting Diodes) are now being developed and are becoming widespread. In the future, we expect to develop ultra-realistic, flexible, embedded sensor displays. Ultra-realistic display can be applied to AR/VR(Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality) devices and spatial light modulators for holography. The sensor-embedded display can be applied to robots; electronic skin; and security devices, including iris recognition sensors, fingerprint recognition sensors, and tactile sensors. AR/VR technology must be developed to meet technical requirements such as viewing angle, resolution, and refresh rate. Holography requires optical modulation technology that can significantly improve resolution, viewing angle, and modulation method to enable wide-view and high-quality hologram stereoscopic images. For electronic skin, stable mass production technology, large-area arrays, and system integration technologies should be developed.

As mobile electronics become smarter, higher-level security systems are necessary to protect private information and property from hackers. For this, biometric authentication systems have been widely studied, where the recognition of unique biological traits of an individual, such as the face, iris, fingerprint, and voice, is required to operate the device. Among them, ultrasound fingerprint imaging technology using piezoelectric materials is one of the most promising approaches adopted by Samsung Galaxy smartphones. In this review, we summarize the recent progress on piezoelectric ultrasound micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) transducers with various piezoelectric materials and provide insights to achieve the highest-level biometric authentication system for mobile electronics.

Consequently substantial research has been done on the development of the bio-metric recognition method as well as technical research in the field of authentication. As a method of bio-metric recognition, personal and unique information such as fingerprints, voice, face, Iris, hand-geometry and vein-pattern are used. The face image system in bio-metric recognition and information authentication reduces the denial response from the users because it is a non-contact system the face image system operates through a PC camera attached to a computer base this makes the system economically viable as well as user friendly. Conversely, the face image system is very sensitive to illumination, hair style and appearance and consequently creates recognition errors easily, therefore we must build a stable authentication system which is not too sensitive to changes in appearance and light. In this study, I proposed user authentication protocol to serve a confidentiality and integrity and to obtain a least Equal Error Rate to minimize the wrong authentication rate when it authenticates the user.

With the recent development and increasing importance of personal identification systems, biometric technologies with less risk of loss or unauthorized use are being popularized rapidly. In particular, because of their high identification rate and convenience, fingerprint identification systems are being used much more commonly than other biometric systems such as iris recognition, face recognition and vein pattern recognition. However, a fingerprint identification system has the problem that artificially forged finger-prints can be used as input data. Thus, in order to solve this problem, the present study proposed a method for detecting forged fingerprints by measuring the degree of attenuation when the light from an optical fingerprint sensor passes through the finger and analyzing changes in the transmission of light over stages at fixed intervals. In order to prove improvement in the performance of the proposed system, we conducted an experiment that compared the system with an existing multi-sensor recognition system that measures also the temperature of fingerprint. According to the results of the experiment, the proposed system improved the forged fingerprint detection rate by around 32.6% and this suggests the possibility of solving the security problem in fingerprint identification systems.

Most Websites perform login process for authentication. But simple features like ID and Password have no trust because most people worry about appropriation. So the youth can easily access illegal media sites using other's ID and Password. Therefore this paper examine features be adaptable to authentication system, and propose a design of authentication system using multiple features. A proposed authentication system has two categories, such as low-level and high-level method. Low-level method consists of grant of authentication number through mobile phone from server and certificate from authority. High-level method combines ID/Password and features of fingerprint, character, voice, face recognition systems. For this, this paper surveys six recognition systems such as fingerprint, face, iris, character, vein, voice recognition system. Among these, fingerprint, character, voice, face recognition systems can be easily implemented in personal computer with low cost accessories. Usage of multiple features can improve reliability of authentication.

Recently, as a number of media are fused into a phone, the requirement of security of service provided on a mobile phone is increasing. For this, conventional cryptographic key based on password and security card is used in the mobile phone, but it has the characteristics which is easy to be vulnerable and to be illegally stolen. To overcome such a problem, the researches to generate key based on biometrics have been done. However, it has also the problem that biometric information is susceptible to the variation of environment, whereas conventional cryptographic system should generate invariant cryptographic key at any time. So, we propose new method of producing cryptographic key based on "Biometric matching-based key release" instead of "Biometric-based key generation" by using both face and iris information in order to overcome the unstability of uni-modal biometries. Also, by using mega-pixel camera embedded on mobile phone, we can provide users with convenience that both face and iris recognition is possible at the same time. Experimental results showed that we could obtain the EER(Equal Error Rate) performance of 0.5% when producing cryptographic key. And FAR was shown as about 0.002% in case of FRR of 25%. In addition, our system can provide the functionality of controlling FAR and FRR based on threshold.

Fingerprint recognition and iris recognition, which are one of the biometric methods, are easily influenced by external factors such as sunlight. Recently, finger vein recognition is used as a method utilizing internal features. However, for accurate finger vein recognition, it is important to clearly separate vein and background regions. However, it is difficult to separate the vein region and background region due to the abnormalized illumination, and a method of separating the vein region and the background region after normalized the illumination of the input image has been proposed. In this paper, we proposed a method to enhance the quality improvement and improve the processing time compared to the existing finger vein recognition system binarization and labeling method of the image including the image stretching process based on the existing illumination normalization method.

A multiple classification system based on a new boosting technique has been approached utilizing different biometric traits, that is, color face, iris and eye along with fingerprints of right and left hands, handwriting, palm-print, gait (silhouettes) and wrist-vein for person authentication. The images of different biometric traits were taken from different standard databases such as FEI, UTIRIS, CASIA, IAM and CIE. This system is comprised of three different super-classifiers to individually perform person identification. The individual classifiers corresponding to each super-classifier in their turn identify different biometric features and their conclusions are integrated together in their respective super-classifiers. The decisions from individual super-classifiers are integrated together through a mega-super-classifier to perform the final conclusion using programming based boosting. The mega-super-classifier system using different super-classifiers in a compact form is more reliable than single classifier or even single super-classifier system. The system has been evaluated with accuracy, precision, recall and F-score metrics through holdout method and confusion matrix for each of the single classifiers, super-classifiers and finally the mega-super-classifier. The different performance evaluations are appreciable. Also the learning and the recognition time is fairly reasonable. Thereby making the system is efficient and effective.

본 논문에서는 최근 신원확인 수단으로 각광받고 있는 생체인식 중 가장 신뢰도가 높은 홍채인식에 관한 연구에 대해 기술하고 있다. 비접촉식 홍채인식 시스템의 경우 홍채영상의 획득 시 사람의 머리가 기울어지거나 움직임에 따라 영상이 좌측 혹은 우측으로 조금씩 회전, 혹은 이동하거나 크기가 달라지게 된다. 이런 경우 동일인의 홍채영상도 매번 조금씩 달라지게 되므로, 정확한 인식을 위해서는 획득된 각 영상의 정규화 과정과 함께 회전된 영상에 대한 보완 등의 전처리 과정이 매우 중요하다. 영상 필터를 통한 정확한 외곽 경계의 검출과 정규화, 비교방법을 통해 이를 보완하고, 웨이블렛 변환을 이용하여 특징값을 얻은 후 검증 실험 결과를 보임으로써 회전, 이동, 크기에 무관한 홍채 인식 방법을 제안하고자 한다.
