Fingerprint recognition info?

pdfs of fingerprint modules & mcu

Hi All,

I would like to implement Fingerprint recognition in Matlab
and in some DSP chip afterwords

Is there some good book or link or code somwere to guide me at the start.

Best regards
dora

Hi Dora ..

There is a good site to start : http://fvs.sourceforge.net/
is great you will find MATLAB algorithms for fingerprint MATCHING
I was involved with a similar project some time ago . I found that the US gov has a site where you can order matching algorithms .. in CD form
Also a data base of samples with the format used by the FBI.. all this is FREE .. well ... the taxpayers get the bill ... Unfortunatly i don't have the site address at hand .. i will try to find that CD ..!

That it!... NOOKNIKS gave the right LINK .. for the NIST ..There are a couple of guys that handle the requests for either the fingerprint or the handwriting recognition .. You only called them and they send you the CD's at no charge if you live in the USA.! ..

I'm work in mbf200 from fujitsu. and i will contact mbf200 with mcu (uClinux ). and
i want share information , data, my project ( mbf200 ).

i'm looking book .

introduction to fingerprint project recognition

I'm from Malaysia, and i'm interested in developing a fingerprint recognition ssytem for access security using C++ .

Besides that i also going to do an image processing on my system which the technique is call " Thresholding" which is convert the RGB image to grayscale to make the image smooth.

So kindly need some help of all of you. if you all have any materials or information regarding fingerpritn recognition system please email me .

Thank you all so much.

To anyone who has the CD, would you please upload the contents of the CD (especially the databases) here or MCU? So, those are not from US can download it.

Thank you very much.

I had done the exact thing like urs. Try searching this topic in the forum.
btw, i suggest u to do a research in Pattern Recognition and Feature Extractions and apply those in ur system. Bcoz i got stucked in the orientation-shifting part now.

Cheers

Here's some very interesting and supring security risk with fingerprint reading, it was published in a Swedish technology magazine twodays ago. This make fingerprint recognition very unsecure:

The art of faking fingerprints:

A Swedish Engineering student have succeed copying fingerprints and put the fingerprints onto her own finger to trick commercial fingerprint readers.
She found a fingerprint on a surface.
Then she put on cole dust to make it clearer.
Then she photographed it with a digital camera.
Then she did some image-processing to improve the fingerprint.
She printed a film negative of it.
She used this negative to expose a normal photosensitive PCB to transfer the fingerprint to the PCB.
**broken link removed**
Then she put gelatine on the PCB fingerprint to transfer it to the gelatine.
**broken link removed**
Gelatine was used because it has almost the same humidity as skin; and it transfers heat and electricity almost as skin.
The gelatine was put on her fingertip to fool any fingerprint reader.
**broken link removed**
And if someone catches you trying to trick a fingerprint reader, then you can just eat the gelatine and the evidecne material will disappear.

To test her discovery she did the follwing:
She took a fingerprint of one of her friends.
She brought her friend and the gelatine fingerprints of her friends finger with her to the CeBIT exhibition in Germany.
She went to three different security comapnies at the exhibition and asked if she could do some test on their fingerprint readers.
First her friends fingerprint was stored by the reader.
Then she used her own finger with the gelatine fingerprint of her friend to break into the sytem that was locked to her friends figerprint.
She succeded at all breaking the security at all three companies fingerprint readers.
All the companies were schoked by this, but she was offered a job by one of them after her demonstration.

Here's the article in Swedish (but with pictures):

That's true. Some researchers in Japan have created 'fingerprint mold' (can't remember watching in TV or read magazine). They claimed the 'fingerprint mold' was useful and could be used as 'backup', for example, when someone lost his finger in an accident or someone's finger was cut/injured. I think the Swedish girl learnt from Japan.

Well i think she saw it on a movie .. but her great accomplishment is that she came up with a way to do it .. I can imagine or watching a time TRAVEL machine .
But the real genius is making it come true SHE DID .. so i CLAP to her ..
She is also CUTE !

It looks like she "stole" most of her work from others and is now trying to take credit for it.
It turns out she didn't came up with the method of photgraphing the fingeprints, etching the PCBs and using gelatine to transfer the fingerprints.
The idea of testing the results at CeBIT was not even hers. The guy that came up with this method tested his method at CeBIT himself.
I don't understand why she get all the credit for this in the press and what all the fuss is about when similar things was already done years ago.
I have not read all of her thesis, but the method descibed in the press is the almost the excact same method as used years ago.
First a method very similar to hers was made over ten years ago by Ton van der Putte and published four years ago by Atos Origin, the only difference is that the original work used silicon instead of gelatine. But the Japanese group came up with the idea of using gelatine instead of silicon and reused many of Ton van der Putte's discoveries.

The method she used is almost the same as described in The Register over two years ago. The only difference is that she copied her fingerprint from a surface, this Japanese guy copied the fingerprint from a plastic mould before he used this to make PCBs. But Atos Origin had already done the same as her, but withsilicon instead or gelatine. She only thing she did was combining these two things. It doesn't take a genius to do that, everyone could have done that, she didn't really came up with anything new:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2002/05/16/gummi_bears_defeat_fingerprint_sensors

Here is her thesis in English:
Liveness Detection in Fingerprint
Recognition Systems
http://www.ep.liu.se/exjobb/isy/2004/3557/exjobb.pdf

And here is the original work from Atos Origin using silicon intead of gelatine:
BIOMETRICAL FINGERPRINT RECOGNITION:
DON'T GET YOUR FINGERS BURNED
(Read appendix B; this descibes the method she copied).
http://www.keuning.com/biometry/Biometrical_Fingerprint_Recognition.pdf

Here's somthing about the work of the Japanese guy and a mail from Atos Origin:
Mail from Atos Origin http://cryptome.org/fake-prints.htm
Impact of Artificial "Gummy" Fingers on Fingerprint Systems http://cryptome.org/gummy.htm


But anyway I would not trust figerprint recognition security at all. It's more unsecure than the simplest username/password protection.
Finding a valid fingerprint is easy, you can always find it at the fingerprint reader you want to trick and then go back to your lab; a few hours later you have a copy.

Check the mathworks have something relevant at **broken link removed**

It is no secret that you can fool an optical or capacitance fingerprint scanner. And these were probably this kind of scanners. I do not think that somebody can break into the system with ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.

Fing somo info on...


Ciao,
asymbian.

I am working on Atmel Finger print sensor, it quite good compare to Authentec, Fitjisu etc.

hi mitesh
Can share your fingerprint projects ?
I want how to connect fingerprint module with mcu .

thank you

Finger recognition project by Matlab
I have a project on Finger recognition but I am not sure ware to start from(ie. How will I insert the fingerprint, and what is the source code for it)
Will back propagation do it

Thank u

i need matlab implementation of "Raymond Thai thesis on fingerprints".............
plzz help me..........i have to submit my degree project..
