Hybrid Finger Print Recognition

The document discusses a hybrid fingerprint recognition system developed by DDS that combines their proprietary Spectrum Analysis algorithm with a minutiae-based algorithm. The Spectrum Analysis algorithm extracts features from the ridge patterns without relying on minutiae points. The hybrid system utilizes a "Shading" technique to analyze the scores from both algorithms and place more weight on the higher score, combining the results for a final decision. This allows the system to leverage the strengths of each approach and address challenges like poor image quality or angled fingerprints.

Computerisation

Finger print reader is a computerized automatic finger print reading


system which can read each finger print data in half second.

Prints of eight fingers are recorded excluding little fingers.

The light reflected from a finger print can be measured and


converted to digital data which is classified, codified and stored in
the computer.
Introduction
 Minutiae based fingerprint algorithms require highly
accurate templates for enrollment.

 In attempt to address many of the issues there have been


numerous recognition technologies developed. Most
technologies, while demonstrating particular strengths,
also have weaknesses associated with them.

 Japan-based DDS has addressed many of these issues by


developing a hybrid algorithm. This technique combines
their proprietary Spectrum Analysis algorithm with a
minutiae base algorithm.

History of Finger Print Recognition
 Dates back to second century B.C. China where the identity of the sender of an
important document could be verified by his fingerprint impression in the wax seal.

 The 19th century introduced systematic approaches to matching fingerprints to


certain individuals. One systematic approach, the Henry Classification System,
based on patterns such as loops and whorls, is still used today to organize
fingerprint card files.
 The first country to adopt a national computerized form of fingerprint imaging was
Australia in 1986, which implemented fingerprint imaging technology into its law
enforcement system.

 In 1996 after nearly a year of study, the National Institute of Standards and
Technology has been convinced that minutia is an acceptable way to store
fingerprint biometric data on smart cards.
Minutia Based Algorithm
Minutia-based algorithms
extract information such as
ridge ending, bifurcation, and
short ridge from a fingerprint
image.

These features are then


stored as mathematical Short Ridge Ridge Ending Bifurcation
templates.

 The identification or
verification process compares
the template of the live image
with a database of enrolled
templates (identification), or
with a single enrolled
template (authentication).
Spectrum analysis
 DDS has developed an algorithm based on Spectrum
Analysis.

 This technique captures cross sections of a sliced


fingerprint pattern and converts them to waves.

 Spectrum analysis uses the spectral series of the waves


as feature information, finding the maximum
correlations in the wave and verifies the identity of the
fingerprint.

 This algorithm of spectrum analysis works extremely


well because this algorithm extracts characteristics
from the concavo-convex information of a fingerprint
without
being influenced by the position of the characteristic
points
The Hybrid technology

 To accentuate the strengths of both the Spectrum


Analysis and Minutiae-based algorithm and limited
the inherent weaknesses, the company has
combined both algorithms and created a Hybrid
algorithm.
 This Hybrid algorithm extends beyond combining
scores from both techniques to form a single
decision; instead the technology utilizes a
proprietary technique of “Shading”.
 Shading analyzes the scores of both results
 With Shading, if one score is high and one is
low, more decision weighting is placed upon
the higher score.

 If both scores are low then information from


both are weighed more equally and the
results are combined together for a final
decision.

 The technology addresses both the strengths


of both as well as the challenges.

 Spectrum analysis can work well with poor


image quality and difficult to read
fingerprints and minutiae-based algorithms
can work very well with angles.
