A secure touch-less based fingerprint verification system

Abstract

Touch-less based fingerprint verification systems are free from the problems of image deformation, latent fingerprint issues and so forth that appear in the contemporary touch based fingerprint verification systems. Coupled with template protection mechanism, a touch-less fingerprint verification system is further enhanced. In this paper, a secure end-to-end touch-less fingerprint verification system is presented. The fingerprint image captured with a digital camera is first pre-processed via the proposed pre-processing algorithm. Then, Multiple Random Projections-Support Vector Machine (MRP-SVM) is proposed to secure fingerprint template while improving system performance.
