Fingerprint recognition under the influence of image sensor ageing

Fingerprint recognition performance is affected by many factors. One of these is defective pixels caused by ageing effects of the image sensor. The authors investigate the impact of these image sensor ageing related pixel defects on the performance of different fingerprint (NBIS, VeriFinger, FingerC...

Description
Summary:Fingerprint recognition performance is affected by many factors. One of these is defective pixels caused by ageing effects of the image sensor. The authors investigate the impact of these image sensor ageing related pixel defects on the performance of different fingerprint (NBIS, VeriFinger, FingerCode and Phase Only Correlation) recognition systems. Their performances are compared against each other to quantify the differences in the impact. In practice, besides image sensor ageing related effects, other influences are also present. As the authors aim to evaluate the impact of the defective pixels only, disregarding subject ageing and other external influences, it is not possible to use real image data. Instead, an experimental study utilising an ageing simulation algorithm introducing hot and stuck pixels is conducted on the FVC2002 and FVC2004 data sets, including tests with different denoising approaches trying to mitigate the effects of image sensor ageing while maintaining the baseline recognition accuracy.
