Point pattern matching schemes for finger print recognition do not guarantee robust matching performance for fingerprint Images of poor quality We present a finger print recognition scheme, where transformation parameters of matched ridge pairs are estimated by Hough transform and the matching hypothesis is verified by a new measure of the matching degree using selective directional information Proposed method may exhibit extremely low FAR(False accept rate) while maintaining low reject rate even for the Images of poor quality because of the robustness to the variation of minutia points.

In this paper, we propose a volume holographic fingerprint recognition system based on optical correlator for personal identification. Optical correlator has high speed and parallel processing characteristics of optics. Matched filters are recorded into a volume hologram that can store data with high density, transfer them with high speed, and select a randomly chosen data element. The multiple reference images of database are prerecorded in a photorefractive crystal in the form of Fourier transform images, simply by passing the image displayed in a spatial light modulator through a Fourier transform lens. The angular multiplexing method for multiple holograms of database can be achieved by rotating the crystal by use of a step motor. Experimental results show that the proposed system can be used for the security verification system.

This paper presents issues of display hardware architecture, relating to memory, display driver IC architecture, and chip-to-chip interface. To achieve a low power and low cost mobile phone, not only the display architecture must be carefully selected, but also the driver-ICs optimized to accommodate the different modes of operation found in typical handheld devices. The technique of forming a photo sensor in each pixel using TFT and display module architecture are developed to add multi functions in display such as fingerprint recognition, image scanning, and integrated touch screen. Detailed architectures of IC partitioning, high-speed serial interface, D/A converter, and multi functions such as fingerprint recognition and image scanning using photo sensors are important to a power optimized system.

본 논문에서 제안한 특징 벡터 추출방법의 기본 아이디어는 융선 패턴의 지역 방위에 따라 그레이-스케일 영상의 융선을 따라가면서 융선의 방향성을 추출하는 것이다. 융선을 따라가는 시작점은 그레이-스케일 영상을 일정한 격자로 나누어서 격자 안의 중심점으로 결정한다. 그 다음에 융선을 따라가면서 여러 방향의 방향성 특징 벡터를 추출하고, 추출된 방향성 특징 벡터를 4방향성 특징 벡터로 라벨링한다. 실험은 4개의 지문에서 구성한 124개의 특징 패턴을 가지고 하였으며, 하나의 지문은 31개의 특징패턴으로 구성하였다. 그 결과 학습된 지문을 인식하는 능력이 매우 우수함을 보여주었다.

This paper proposes two new methods to detect the fingerprints of different persons based on one-dimensional and two-dimensional discrete wavelet transformations (DWTs). Recent literature shows that fingerprint detection based on DWT requires less memory space compared to pattern recognition and moment-based image recognition techniques. In this study four statistical parameters - cross correlation co-efficient, skewness, kurtosis and convolution of the approximate coefficient of one-dimensional DWTs are used to evaluate the two methods involving fingerprints of the same person and those of different persons. Within the contexts of all statistical parameters in detection of fingerprints, our second method shows better results than that of the first method.

An important preprocessing for fingerprint recognition is the binarization operation, which takes as an input gray-scale image and returns a binary image as the output. The difficult in performing binarization is to find an appropriate threshold value. This paper presents a new adaptive binarization method, which determines the threshold value according to the brightness of local ridges and valleys. We experimentally show that the presented method results in better performance than a traditional method.

This paper proposes a fingerprint verification system on a fuzzy vault with steganography for a smartphone. While biometric-based authentication can provide strong security, the biometric data must be handled carefully as it cannot be re-enrolled when it is revealed to other people. When the transformed data is used for authentication, the original biometric data can be protected. In this paper, we combine a fingerprint verification system with a fuzzy vault scheme to protect the fingerprint data of a smartphone user. In addition, the transformed data using a fuzzy vault scheme increases the security as it is concealed by the steganography scheme. The result of the experiment using fingerprint databases shows that the proposed scheme provides a high level of convenience and security for authentication of a smartphone having with a fingerprint sensor.

In this paper, the rotation and size invariant fingerprint recognition using the neural network EART (Extended Adaptive Resonance Theory) is studied ($515{\times}512$) gray level fingerprint images are converted into the binary thinned images based on the adaptive threshold and a thinning algorithm. From these binary thinned images, we extract the ending points and the bifurcation points, which are the most useful critical feature points in the fingerprint images, using the $3{\times}3$ MASK. And we convert the number of these critical points and the interior angles of convex polygon composed of the bifurcation points into the 40*10 critical using the weighted code which is invariant of rotation and size as the input of EART. This system produces very good and efficient results for the rotation and size variations without the restoration of the binary thinned fingerprints.

지문인식을 통한 생체인증 방식은 스마트 기기의 인증방법들 중 가장 보편화된 인증 방식이다. 하지만 사용자를 구별하는 유일한 인증 방식으로 발전하기에는 완벽한 생체인증 수단이라고 단정 지을 수 없다. 다수의 손가락을 등록함으로 인한 보안성의 하락이나 지문의 손상으로 인한 정확성을 보장할 수 없기 때문이다. 본 논문은 DFS(Display Fingerprint Solution) 기술이 적용된 터치스크린만으로도 지문 인식이 가능한 멀티 핑거 인증 방법 대해 제안한다. 무엇보다 사용자의 복잡한 지문이미지를 획득하고 이를 중첩시킨 후 간섭무늬를 발생시킨 후, 이를 통해 보안 이미지나 무늬를 획득해 사용자를 구별하는 보다 강화된 인증 방식을 제안한다. 본 논문이 제안하고자 하는 방안은 기존의 단순한 지문 이미지 획득보다 고차원적인 데이터를 생성할 수 있는 점을 중심으로 이루어진다.

This paper proposes dynamic thresholding scheme for fingerprint identification. As a user authentication method by fingerprint recognition technology, verification method based on 1:1 matching was mainly used in the past, but identification method based on 1:N matching is generally used recently. The control of the value of FAR is very important in the application areas such as access control and time attendance systems. This paper proposes dynamic thresholding scheme which could properly control the value of FAR according to the field of applications and size of the fingerprints database.
