Abstract

Various systems, methods, and programs embodied in computer-readable mediums are provided for fingerprint liveness detection. In one embodiment, a method for determining fingerprint liveness is provided that comprises receiving a plurality of image analysis data of a fingerprint image; condensing the plurality of image analysis data; and determining liveness of the fingerprint image based upon the condensed data.

Claims (76)

1. A method for determining fingerprint liveness, comprising the steps of:

obtaining a plurality of image analysis data of a fingerprint image;

condensing the plurality of image analysis data; and

determining liveness of the fingerprint image based upon the condensed data, wherein determining liveness of the fingerprint image comprises the steps of:

processing the condensed data to determine a location within a cluster;

determining the distance between the condensed data location and a centroid of the cluster; and

determining liveness of the fingerprint image based upon the distance and a predefined threshold.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of image analysis data comprises multi-resolution texture analysis data.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein condensing the plurality of image analysis data comprises principal component analysis.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of processing the condensed data to determine a location within a cluster is performed by fuzzy c-means clustering.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the steps of:

obtaining a fingerprint image;

generating a histogram of the fingerprint image; and

determining a multi-resolution texture analysis data from the histogram.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein multi-resolution texture analysis data comprises a first order function.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the steps of:

obtaining a fingerprint image;

generating a co-occurrence matrix of the fingerprint image; and

determining a multi-resolution texture analysis data from the co-occurrence matrix.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein multi-resolution texture analysis data comprises a second order function.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the steps of:

obtaining a fingerprint image;

determining a local-ridge frequency of the fingerprint image; and

determining a local-ridge statistical data from the local-ridge frequency.

10. A system, comprising:

a processor circuit having a processor and a memory;

a detection system stored in the memory and executable by the processor, the detection system comprising:

logic that obtains a plurality of image analysis data of a fingerprint image;

logic that condenses the plurality of image analysis data; and

logic that determines liveness of the fingerprint image based upon the condensed data, wherein the logic that determines liveness of the fingerprint image comprises:

logic that processes the condensed data to determine a location within a cluster;

logic that determines the distance between the condensed data location and a centroid of the cluster; and

logic that determines liveness of the fingerprint image based upon the distance and a predefined threshold.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the detection system further comprises:

logic that obtains a fingerprint image;

logic that generates a histogram of the fingerprint image;

logic that generates a co-occurrence matrix of the fingerprint image; and

logic that determines a multi-resolution texture analysis data from the histogram and the co-occurrence matrix.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the detection system further comprises:

logic that obtains a fingerprint image;

logic that determines a local-ridge frequency of the fingerprint image; and

logic that determines a local-ridge statistical data from the local-ridge frequency.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein logic that condenses the plurality of image analysis data comprises principal component analysis.

14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the logic that processes the condensed data to determine a location within a cluster comprises fuzzy c-means clustering.

15. The system of claim 10 , wherein the detection system further comprises:

logic that obtains a fingerprint image;

logic that generates a histogram of the fingerprint image; and

logic that determines a multi-resolution texture analysis data from the histogram.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein multi-resolution texture analysis data comprises a first order function.

17. The system of claim 10 , wherein the detection system further comprises:

logic that obtains a fingerprint image;

logic that generates a co-occurrence matrix of the fingerprint image; and

logic that determines a multi-resolution texture analysis data from the co-occurrence matrix.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein multi-resolution texture analysis data comprises a second order function.

19. A system, comprising:

means for obtaining a plurality of image analysis data of a fingerprint image;

means for condensing the plurality of image analysis data; and

means for determining liveness of the fingerprint image based upon the condensed data, wherein the means for determining liveness of the fingerprint image comprises:

means for processing the condensed data to determine a location within a cluster;

means for determining the distance between the condensed data location and a centroid of the cluster; and

means for determining liveness of the fingerprint image based upon the distance and a predefined threshold.

20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the system further comprises:

means for obtaining a fingerprint image;

means for generating a co-occurrence matrix of the fingerprint image; and

means for determining a multi-resolution texture analysis data from the co-occurrence matrix.

21. The system of claim 20 , wherein multi-resolution texture analysis data comprises a first order function.

22. The system of claim 19 , wherein the system further comprises:

means for obtaining a fingerprint image;

means for generating a histogram of the fingerprint image; and

means for determining a multi-resolution texture analysis data from the histogram.

23. The system of claim 22 , wherein multi-resolution texture analysis data comprises a first order function.

24. The system of claim 19 , wherein the system further comprises:

means for obtaining a fingerprint image;

means for determining a local-ridge frequency of the fingerprint image; and

means for determining a local-ridge statistical data from the local-ridge frequency.

25. The system of claim 19 , wherein the means for processing the condensed data to determine a location within a cluster includes means for fuzzy c-means clustering.
