Discarding low quality Minutia Cylinder-Code pairs for improved fingerprint comparison

Andrzej Drygajlo, Mohammad Hamed Izadi

Local minutiae descriptors such as Minutia Cylinder-Code (MCC) are becoming more popular in modern fingerprint matching systems. The matching performance depends a lot on the fingerprint image quality in global and local levels. Rejecting part of the lowes ...

Palm vein recognition with local texture patterns

Leila Mirmohamadsadeghi, Andrzej Drygajlo

Biometric recognition using the palm vein characteristics is emerging as a touchless and spoof-resistant hand-based means to identify individuals or to verify their identity. One of the open challenges in this field is the creation of fast and modality-dep ...

A template privacy protection scheme for fingerprint minutiae descriptors

Leila Mirmohamadsadeghi, Andrzej Drygajlo

It is important in biometric person recognition systems to protect personal data and privacy of users. This paper introduces a new mechanism to revoke and protect fingerprint minutiae information, which can be used in today’s security-aware society. The re ...

Speaker verification in score-ageing-quality classification space

Andrzej Drygajlo, Finnian Paul Kelly

A challenge in automatic speaker verification is to create a system that is robust to the effects of vocal ageing. To observe the ageing effect, a speaker's voice must be analysed over a period of time, over which, variation in the quality of the voice sam ...

Introduction of cylinder quality measure into Minutia Cylinder-Code based fingerprint matching

Leila Mirmohamadsadeghi, Andrzej Drygajlo, Mohammad Hamed Izadi

Poor data quality is responsible for many or even most matching errors in fingerprint recognition systems. It became obvious that particular effort is needed in adaptation of the state-of-the-art minutiae-based fingerprint matching techniques to real-world ...

Embedding cylinder quality measures into Minutia Cylinder-Code based latent fingerprint matching

Andrzej Drygajlo, Mohammad Hamed Izadi

One of the major problems concerning latent fingerprint matching in forensic applications is the poor quality of fingerprint data. Therefore, local quality assessment of fingerprint images is necessary to ensure high biometric performance in this applicati ...

Client-specific A-stack model for adult face verification across aging

Andrzej Drygajlo, Weifeng Li

The problem of time validity of biometricmodels has received only a marginal attention from researchers. In this paper, we propose to manage the aging influence on the adult face verification system by an A-stack age modeling technique, which uses the age ...
