The algorithm arranges the overlapped block-based Fourier coefficients into groups of frequency and orientation subbands, called Rearranged Fourier Subband (RFS). The RFS reveals latent fingerprint spectra in only a limited number of subbands. The algorithm then boosts, sorts, and extracts, from complex background and noise, the latent fingerprint spectra in the RFS subbands. Several experiments are evaluated based on ground truth comparison, feature extraction, and latent matching on the NIST SD27 latent database. Our experimental results show that the proposed algorithm achieves better accuracy compared to those of the published automatic segmentation algorithms.","PeriodicalId":237372,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Biometrics (ICB)","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116932740","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}

The objective is to determine whether the finger is rotated or not, since a proper positioning of the finger is mandatory for high fingerprint matching rates. A test set of 9000 acquired images has being used to train, validate and test the proposed multilayer Artificial Neural Network classifier. To our knowledge, there is no definitive method that addressed the problem of fingerprint quality on touchless multiview scanners. The proposed finger rotation detection here presented is one of the steps that must be taken into account if a future automatic image quality assessment method is to be considered. Average results show that: (a) our classifier correctly identifies bad-positioning in approximately 94% of cases; and (b) if bad-positioning is detected, the rotation angle is correctly estimated in 90% evaluations.","PeriodicalId":237372,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Biometrics (ICB)","volume":"137 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133507166","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 work we describe a systematic approach for annotating fully unconstrained face imagery using crowdsourced labor. For such data preparation, a cascade of crowdsourced tasks are performed, which begins with bounding box annotations on all faces contained in images and videos, followed by identification of the labelled person of interest in such imagery, and, finally, landmark annotation of key facial fiducial points. In order to allow such annotations to scale to large volumes of imagery, a software system architecture is provided which achieves a sustained rate of 30,000 annotations per hour (or 500 manual annotations per minute). While previous crowdsourcing guidance described in the literature generally involved multiple choice questions or text input, our tasks required annotators to provide geometric primitives (rectangles and points) in images. As such, algorithms are provided for combining multiple annotations of an image into a single result, and automatically measuring the quality of a given annotation. Finally, other guidance is provided for improving the accuracy and scalability of crowdsourced image annotation for face detection and recognition.","PeriodicalId":237372,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Biometrics (ICB)","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131483499","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}

The grid structured morphological spectrum is represented in the form of 10-bin histogram and normalised to overcome the problem of scaling. The eighty dimensional feature vector is obtained by concatenating all the eight vertical morphological spectrum based normalised histogram.

However, facial surfaces resulting from 3D sensors are discrete meshes. In this paper, we present a general framework and define three principal curvatures on discrete surfaces for the purpose of 3D FR. These principal curvatures are derived from the construction of asymptotic cones associated to any Borel subset of the discrete surface. They describe the local geometry of the underlying mesh. First two of them correspond to the classical principal curvatures in the smooth case. We isolate the third principal curvature that carries out meaningful geometric shape information. The three principal curvatures in different Borel subsets scales give multi-scale local facial surface descriptors. We combine the proposed principal curvatures with the LNP-based facial descriptor and SRC for recognition. The identification and verification experiments demonstrate the practicability and accuracy of the third principal curvature and the fusion of multi-scale Borel subset descriptors on 3D face from FRGC v2.0.","PeriodicalId":237372,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Biometrics (ICB)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133856571","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}

As for the modalities of multiple biometrics, we extracted gait, head, and the height biometrics from a single walking image sequence, and considered spatial resolution (SR) and temporal resolution (TR) as quality measures that simultaneously affect the scores of individual modalities. We then computed biometric scores of 1912 subjects under a total of 130 combinations of the quality measures, i.e., 13 SRs and 10 TRs, and constructed a very large-scale biometric score database composed of 1,814,488 genuine scores and 3,467,486,568 imposter scores.
