Gait Recognition is a new technique to identify the people by the way they walk. Human gait is a spatio-temporal phenomenon that typifies the motion characteristics of an individual. The proposed method makes a simple but efficient attempt to gait recognition. For each video file, spatial silhouettes of a walker are extracted by an improved background subtraction procedure using Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM). Here GMM is used as a parametric probability density function represented as a weighted sum of Gaussian component densities. Then, the relevant features are extracted from the silhouette tracked from the given video file using the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method. The Fisher Linear Discriminant Analysis (FLDA) classifier is used in the classification of dimensional reduced image derived by the PCA method for gait recognition. Although gait images can be easily acquired, the gait recognition is affected by clothes, shoes, carrying status and specific physical condition of an individual. To overcome this problem, it is combined with footprint as a multimodal biometric system. The minutiae is extracted from the footprint and then fused with silhouette image using the Discrete Stationary Wavelet Transform (DSWT). The experimental result shows that the efficiency of proposed fusion algorithm works well and attains better result while comparing with other fusion schemes.

Fingerprinting is a frontier technique that is the most frequently applied for human identification throughout the world. All citizens over 17 year old living in the Republic of Korea must be fingerprinted to obtain a certificate of resident registration. In Korea, for this reason, human identification through fingerprints has been far better developed and used efficiently both in crime scene investigation and in confirmation of an unidentified body. Scientific approaches have been made to accurately extract the metamorphosed fingerprints in various environments. Because most of the studies on fingerprinting have been accomplished with biometric techniques, researches on restoration of human dermal tissue and taking custody data after collecting fingerprints have been comparatively undermined. In this study, a newly innovative method for fingerprint extraction was developed using the polyester film with print powders and the high temperature-moisturizing method. Compared to the conventional fingerprinting method of paper with ink, minutiae numbers of fingerprints were greatly increased in polyester film with print powders after restoration of fingertips by high temperature-moisturization. This newly developed procedure would be an efficient fingerprinting technique which could be utilized in scientific investigation and in personal identification in the future. Furthermore, the new method for restoration and extraction of fingerprints are easy and inexpensive to practice for a number of human identification.

The use of minutiae by fingerprint readers is robust against presentation attacks, but one weakness is that the mismatch rate is high. Therefore, minutiae tend to be used with skeleton images. There have been many studies on security vulnerabilities in the characteristics of minutiae, but vulnerability studies on the skeleton are weak, so this study attempts to analyze the vulnerability of presentation attacks against the skeleton. To this end, we propose a method based on the skeleton to recover the original fingerprint using a learning algorithm. The proposed method includes a new learning model, Pix2Pix, which adds a latent vector to the existing Pix2Pix model, thereby generating a natural fingerprint. In the experimental results, the original fingerprint is restored using the proposed machine learning, and then, the restored fingerprint is the input for the fingerprint reader in order to achieve a good recognition rate. Thus, this study verifies that fingerprint readers using the skeleton are vulnerable to presentation attacks. The approach presented in this paper is expected to be useful in a variety of applications concerning fingerprint restoration, video security, and biometrics.

In this paper, we propose a secure solution for user authentication by using fingerprint verification on the sensor-client-server model, even with the client that is not necessarily trusted by the sensor holder or the server. To protect possible attacks launched at the untrusted client, our solution makes the fingerprint sensor validate the result computed by the client for the feature extraction. However, the validation should be simple so that the resource-constrained fingerprint sensor can validate it in real-time. To solve this problem, we separate the feature extraction into binarization and minutiae extraction, and assign the time-consuming binarization to the client. After receiving the result of binarization from the client, the sensor conducts a simple validation to check the result, performs the minutiae extraction with the received binary image from the client, and then sends the extracted minutiae to the server. Based on the experimental results, the proposed solution for fingerprint verification can be performed on the sensor-client-server model securely and in real-time with the aid of an untrusted client.

We propose plain fingerprint classification based on a core stochastic algorithm that effectively uses a core stochastic model, acquiring more fingerprint minutiae and direction, in order to increase matching performance. The proposed core stochastic algorithm uses core presence/absence and contains a ridge direction and distribution map. Simulations show that the fingerprint classification accuracy is improved by more than 14%, on average, compared to other algorithms.

본 논문에서는, 지문인식에 있어서 특징 추출알고리즘과 추출된 특징을 가지고, matching하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 지문인식에 필요한 특징추출 알고리즘들은 Gabor-filter라는 알고리즘에 기반을 두었으며, minutiae 와는 달리 특징추출에 있어서 전처리과정(smoothing, binarization, thining, restoration) 을 필요로 하지않는다. 또한, 지문의 matching에 있어서의 알고리즘은 fingercode들 간의 유사성에 기반을 두었다. 이를 통한 실 험결과로써, 인식의 정확성은 95.7(%), FAR(2.9%), FRR(1.4%)을 보여주었다.

본 논문에서는 많은 잡음으로 인해 손상된 지문으로부터 향상된 특이점 추출에 관한 방법을 제안한다. 최근 들어 주민등록증 뒷면의 지문 이미지와 본인의 생체 지문을 비교하여 본인임을 판단하는 시스템에 관한 연구가 활발하게 진행되어지고 있다. 그런데 생체지문 인식 장치를 통해 입력받은 지문 이미지는 왜곡과 잡음이 없는데 반해 주민등륵증상의 지문이미지는 입력 당시 잉크를 통해 회전날인 방식으로 입력받아 잡음과 왜곡이 심하여 두 이미지간의 인증율이 좋지 않다. 이에 주민등록증의 지문 이미지에 대한 잡음과 왜곡보정 필터링과 오류 특이점 제거 등을 통하여 향상된 지문인식 시스템을 구성할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다.

본 논문은 지문 특징점 들에서 서로 연결되어진 구조 정보를 활용한 지문 매칭 알고리즘에 대해 연구하였다. 매칭에 이용한 특징은 분기점, 단점 그리고 융선의 방향 등이다. 한 융선 위에 존재하는 여러 특징점들의 연결정보를 찾고, 이를 저장하여 기준좌표축(한쌍의 특징)을 검출한다. 서로 일치하는 한 쌍의 특징을 이용해 입력지문을 이동하고 회전하여 원본지문과 일치시킨 후 각 특징들의 위치, 융선 방향이 일치하는 개수에 따라 지문의 동일여부를 판단하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 회전과 이동에 무관한 지문인식이 가능하며, 처리 속도가 빨라 실시간 지문인식에 적용할 수 있다.
