A Computational Discriminability Analysis on Twin Fingerprints

چکیده
Sharing similar genetic traits makes the investigation of twins an important study in forensics and biometrics. Fingerprints are one of the most commonly found types of forensic evidence. The similarity between twins’ prints is critical establish to the reliability of fingerprint identification. We present a quantitative analysis of the discriminability of twin fingerprints on a new data set (227 pairs of identical twins and fraternal twins) using both level 1 and level 2 features. Although the patterns of minutiae among twins are more similar than in the general population, the similarity of fingerprints of twins is significantly different from that between genuine prints of the same finger. Twins fingerprints are discriminable with a 1.5% ∼ 1.7% higher EER than non-twins.

Discriminability of Fingerprints of Twins
A study of the discriminability of f ingerprints of twins is presented. The f ingerprint data used is of high quality and quantity because of a predominantly young subject population of 298 pairs of twins whose tenprints were captured using a livescan device. Discriminability using level 1 and level 2 features is independently reported. The level 1 study was to visually classify by humans each ...
متن کاملPower Ramped-up Preamble RF Fingerprints of Wireless Transmitters
In this paper, we propose a novel kind of RF fingerprints (RFF) with better discriminability than typical RFF for identifying preamble-based wireless transmitters. First, the equivalent model of RFF identification system is built. Then, the typical RFF are analyzed with the built model and the novel RFF, which is transformed from preamble signal when its power is ramped up, is presented. Finall...
متن کاملFingerprint Recognition with Identical Twin Fingerprints
Fingerprint recognition with identical twins is a challenging task due to the closest genetics-based relationship existing in the identical twins. Several pioneers have analyzed the similarity between twins' fingerprints. In this work we continue to investigate the topic of the similarity of identical twin fingerprints. Our study was tested based on a large identical twin fingerprint database t...
متن کاملFair lineups are better than biased lineups and showups, but not because they increase underlying discriminability.
Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis has recently come in vogue for assessing the underlying discriminability and the applied utility of lineup procedures. Two primary assumptions underlie recommendations that ROC analysis be used to assess the applied utility of lineup procedures: (a) ROC analysis of lineups measures underlying discriminability, and (b) the procedure that produces ...
