TOUCHLESS FINGERPRINT SYSTEM

INTRODUCTION

• Fingerprint is most popular,reliable and oldest biometric sign of identity

• Touchless fingerprint system is a remote sensing technique to process fingerprint pattern, considered as a viable alternative to touch based fingerprint system

• New generation of touchless live scan devices is 3D touchless finger print system

TERMINOLOGY• Fingerprint can be looked at from different

levels1) GLOBAL LEVEL• Singularity points called core and delta points

Core and delta points marked on sketches of the two fingerprint patterns loop and whorl

IMAGE ACQUISITION

MULTIPLE VIEW SYSTEM

• Multiple view enables the capture of full nail to nail fingerprints increasing the usable area

• From each acquired image a silhouette is extracted.

• The 5 silhouettes are then projected into the 3D space and we get the 3D shape of finger by knowing the position and orientation of each camera within a reference coordinate system.

Fingerprint acquisition obtained by combining a single line scan camera and two mirrors

3D FINGERPRINT UNWRAPPING

• Unwrapping a 3D object refers to the unfolding the 3D object onto a flat 2D plane.

UNWRAPPING METHOD

PARAMETRIC NON PARAMETRIC

PARAMETRIC UNWRAPPING USING CYLINDRICAL MODEL

• Human fingers vary in shape, like the shape of the

middle finger is often more cylindrical than the thumb.• Human fingers can be closely approximated by

cylinders.• Human fingers also vary in size and the cylindrical

model can also capture this size variability in the vertical direction, but not in the horizontal direction.

• Cylindrical model is a reasonable choice for parametric unwrapping of3D fingerprints.

T

• Mathematically, let the origin be positioned at the bottom of the finger, centered at the principle axis of the finger.

• Let T be a point on the surface of the 3D finger:

x T = Y z

• This 3D point is then projected (transformed) onto the cylindrical surface to obtain the corresponding 2D coordinates S =

Where

z

NON PARAMETRIC -UNWRAPPING

• Non-parametric unwrapping, does not involve any projection on parametric models.

• The unwrapping directly applies to the object to preserve local distances or angular relations.

• Guarantees the variability in both shape and size of fingers is preserved.

• Less distortion compared to parametric unwrapping

PREPROCESSING STEPS

a) Computation of local ridge frequency and local ridge orientation

b) Enhancement of the fingerprint imagec) Segmentationd) Detection of singularities FEATURE EXTRACTIONe) Conversion of preprocessed fingerprint image

into binary imageb) Thinning

FINGERPRINT MATCHING

• MINUTIAE-BASED APPROACH :- Analogous with the way that forensic experts compare fingerprints

• The minutiae sets of the two fingerprints to be compared are first aligned, requiring displacement and rotation to be computed

• Region of tolerance around the minutiae position is defined in order to compensate for the variations that may appear in the minutiae position due to noise and distortion

DISADVANTAGE

• Lower contrast between ridges and valleys due to motion blur of hand tremble , camera background noise and small depth of field

• Unwrapping technique has distortion upto some extent

• Compatibility with contact-based 2D rolled fingerprint image
