Synthetic Fingerprint-Database Generation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work complements our previous efforts in generating realistic fingerprint images for test purposes. The main variability which characterizes the acquisition of a fingerprint through an on-line sensor is modeled and a sequence of steps is defined to derive a series of impressions from the same master-fingerprint. This allows large fingerprint databases to be randomly generated according to some given parameters. The experimental results validate our technique and prove that it can be very useful for performance evaluation, learning and testing in fingerprint-based systems.

Separating the real from the synthetic: minutiae histograms as fingerprints of fingerprints
In this study we show that by the current state-of-the-art synthetically generated fingerprints can easily be discriminated from real fingerprints. We propose a non-parametric distribution based method using second order extended minutiae histograms (MHs) which can distinguish between real and synthetic prints with very high accuracy. MHs provide a fixed-length feature vector for a fingerprint ...
متن کاملA Synthetic Fingerprint Generation Method and Its Implementation
A synthetic fingerprint generation method is presented and implemented in this paper. A new combination model for the orientation field of fingerprint is applied to generate more realistic fingerprint direction map, and a new expression of the fingerprint density map is presented. Then a modified Gabor filter is used for ridge pattern generation. This method consists of two main processes: Firs...

متن کاملAn evaluation of indirect attacks and countermeasures in fingerprint verification systems
Biometric recognition systems are vulnerable to numerous security threats. These include direct attacks to the sensor or indirect attacks, which represent the ones aimed towards internal system modules. In this work, indirect attacks against fingerprint verification systems are analyzed in order to better understand how harmful they can be. Software attacks via hill climbing algorithms are impl...
