The successful and widespread deployment of biometric systems brings on a new challenge: the spoofing, which in volves presenting an artificial or fake biometric trait to the biometric systems so that unauthorized users can gain ac cess to places and/or information. We propose a fingerprint spoof detection method that uses a combination of informa tion available from pores, statistical features and fingerprint image quality to classifY the fingerprint images into live or fake. Our spoof detection algorithm combines these three types of features to obtain an average accuracy of 97.3% on a new database (UNESP-FSDB) that contains 4,800 images of live and fake fingerprints. An analysis is performed that considers some issues such as image resolution, pressure by the user, sequence of images and level of features.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
