We performed the experiments on datasets including a time-span of 4 years. The acquisition was performed by using three different commercial off-the-shelf optical fingerprint sensors. Furthermore, we compared the results of those non-minutiae experiments to investigations performed by a traditional minutiae based approach. The analysis exhibits that there are very similar effects in terms of fingerprint template ageing detectable for all considered recognition methods.","PeriodicalId":111316,"journal":{"name":"2017 5th International Workshop on Biometrics and Forensics (IWBF)","volume":"108 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131557209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many researchers have evaluated view angle transformation techniques, discriminant analysis and manifold learning approaches for cross-view recognition, and their proposals are usually based on a common factor, i.e., to establish a cross-view mapping between gallery and probe templates. However, their effectiveness is restricted to small view angle variances. A promising approach to perform view-invariant gait recognition is through multi-view feature learning. In this paper, we propose the view-invariant feature selector (ViFS) and integrate it in a framework for view-invariant gait recognition. ViFS select features from multi-view gait templates and reconstructs gallery templates that accurately match the data for a specific view angle. ViFS is thus able to reconstruct gallery templates from arbitrary view angles, and thus help to transfer the cross-view problem to identical-view gait recognition. We also apply linear subspace learning methods as feature enhancers for ViFS, which substantially reduce the computational cost and improve the recognition speed. We test the proposed framework on the CASIA Dataset B. The average recognition accuracy of the proposed framework for 11 different views exceed 98%.","PeriodicalId":111316,"journal":{"name":"2017 5th International Workshop on Biometrics and Forensics (IWBF)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126801649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, a steganographic algorithm with high payload and low change rate is proposed. Three pixels are processed as a unit, the exclusive-or result of the second least significant bits (SLSBs) of the pixels in that unit is regarded as the flag. According to the value of the flag, as well as the Hamming distance between the least significant bits (LSBs) and the secret messages, three bits of secret message are embedded. Secret message can be easily extracted depending on the value of flag. Local texture is also considered to achieve adaptive embedding. The advantage of the proposed algorithm is that at most one pixel will be modified when embedding three bits of message into three pixels. Simulation results showed that the proposed algorithm decreases the probability of detection for steganalysis methods and the security has been much improved.","PeriodicalId":111316,"journal":{"name":"2017 5th International Workshop on Biometrics and Forensics (IWBF)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125551118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
