Touchless fingerprint recognition systems do not require contact of the finger with any acquisition surface and thus provide an increased level of hygiene, usability, and user acceptability of fingerprint-based biometric technologies. The most accurate touchless approaches compute 3-D models of the fingertip.

We present a novel, fully touchless fingerprint recognition system based on the computation of 3-D models. It adopts an innovative and less-constrained acquisition setup compared with other previously reported 3-D systems, does not require contact with any surface or a finger placement guide, and simultaneously captures multiple images while the finger is moving. To compensate for possible differences in finger placement, we propose novel algorithms for computing 3-D models of the shape of a finger.

We evaluated different aspects of the biometric system: acceptability, usability, recognition performance, robustness to environmental conditions and finger misplacements, and compatibility and interoperability with touch-based technologies.

Abstract
Touchless fingerprint recognition systems do not require contact of the finger with any acquisition surface and thus provide an increased level of hygiene, usability, and user acceptability of fingerprint-based biometric technologies. The most accurate touchless approaches compute 3-D models of the fingertip. However, a relevant drawback of these systems is that they usually require constrained and highly cooperative acquisition methods. We present a novel, fully touchless fingerprint recognition system based on the computation of 3-D models. It adopts an innovative and less-constrained acquisition setup compared with other previously reported 3-D systems, does not require contact with any surface or a finger placement guide, and simultaneously captures multiple images while the finger is moving. To compensate for possible differences in finger placement, we propose novel algorithms for computing 3-D models of the shape of a finger. Moreover, we present a new matching strategy based on the computation of multiple touch-compatible images. We evaluated different aspects of the biometric system: acceptability, usability, recognition performance, robustness to environmental conditions and finger misplacements, and compatibility and interoperability with touch-based technologies. The proposed system proved to be more acceptable and usable than touch-based techniques. Moreover, the system displayed satisfactory accuracy, achieving an equal error rate of 0.06% on a dataset of 2368 samples acquired in a single session and 0.22% on a dataset of 2368 samples acquired over the course of one year. The system was also robust to environmental conditions and to a wide range of finger rotations. The compatibility and interoperability with touch-based technologies was greater or comparable to those reported in public tests using commercial touchless devices.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
