چکیده

In the last few years the research community has witnessed significant progress in biometric technology, due to the availability of a wide variety of databases. However, the available databases that are currently available present significant setbacks in terms of restricted access to data, low-resolution and restrictions imposed on individuals during the acquisition phase. In this paper, two new public databases are described that have been created, with fingerprint and palm print images and their characteristics are compared with other databases available in the research community. The advantages of these databases are the great variety of individual characteristics, they have no restrictions during acquisition and they have manual ground truth annotation. They were presented in two different international competitions and have been used in research by different authors.

Robust Iris Recognition in Unconstrained Environments

A biometric system provides automatic identification of an individual based on a unique feature or characteristic possessed by him/her. Iris recognition (IR) is known to be the most reliable and accurate biometric identification system. The iris recognition system (IRS) consists of an automatic segmentation mechanism which is based on the Hough transform (HT). This paper presents a robust IRS i...

Iris Image Quality Assessment for Biometric Application

Image quality assessment plays an important role in the performance of biometric system involving iris images. Data quality assessment is a key issue in order to broaden the applicability of iris biometrics to unconstrained imaging conditions. In this paper, we have proposed the quality factors of individual iris images by assessing their prominent factors by their scores. The work has been car...

The Use of Static Biometric Signature Data from Public Service Forms

Automatic signature verification/recognition is a commonly used form of biometric authentication. Signatures are typically provided for legal purposes on public service application forms but not used for subsequent biometric recognition. This paper investigates a number of factors concerning the use of signatures in so-called static form (an image of a completed signature) to enable the sample ...

An Efficient Boosting Approach for Score Level Fusion of Face and Palmprint Biometrics in Human Recognition

Biometrics based personal identification is regarded as an effective method for automatically recognizing a person’s identity with confidence. A multimodal biometric system consolidates the evidence presented by multiple biometric sources and typically better recognition performance compare to systems based on a single biometric modality. This paper proposes a novel multipartite algorithm for s...

View Invariant Gait Recognition

Recognition by gait is of particular interest since it is the biometric that is available at the lowest resolution, or when other biometrics are (intentionally) obscured. Gait as a biometric has now shown increasing recognition capability. There are many approaches and these show that recognition can achieve excellent performance on large databases. The majority of these approaches are planar 2...
