Fingerprint "Forgery". Transferred Latent Fingerprints

Latent Fingerprint Matching: Fusion of Rolled and Plain Fingerprints

Law enforcement agencies routinely collect both rolled and plain fingerprints of all the ten fingers of suspects. These two types of fingerprints complement each other, since rolled fingerprints are of larger size and contain more minutiae, and plain fingerprints are less affected by distortion and have clearer ridge structure. It is widely known in the law enforcement community that searching ...

Copy- Paste Forgery Detection Using Statistical Fingerprints

A digital image is a numeric representation of a two-dimensional image. Depending on whether the image resolution is fixed, it may be of vector or raster type. Without qualifications, the term "digital image" usually refers to raster images also called bitmap images. When we see a picture on our monitor or use our digital camera (or scanner), the image we are viewing or dealing with is not cont...

Automated Latent Fingerprint Recognition

Latent fingerprints are one of the most important and widely used evidence in law enforcement and forensic agencies worldwide. Yet, NIST evaluations show that the performance of state-of-the-art latent recognition systems is far from satisfactory. An automated latent fingerprint recognition system with high accuracy is essential to compare latents found at crime scenes to a large collection of ...

Simultaneous Latent Fingerprint Detection

In this paper we present a novel approach for matching simultaneous latent fingerprint to plain fingerprint. In the experiment, we tested 160 simultaneous latent print images that are equal to 10 classes from 240 simultaneous impressions in the IIITD SLF Database and match them with a gallery of optical slap fingerprints. The Gallery of Optical is used as references to the accuracy of matching ...
