Fingerprint quality assessment (FQA) has been a challenging issue due to a variety of noisy
information contained in the samples, such as physical defect and distortions caused by …

This paper presents an efficient algorithm for iris recognition using phase-based image
matching-an image matching technique using phase components in 2D discrete Fourier …

Fingerprint matching, spoof mitigation and liveness detection are the trendiest biometric
techniques, mostly because of their stability through life, uniqueness and their least risk of …

Six methods for the accurate estimation of the phase-correlation maxima are discussed and
evaluated in this article for one-and two-dimensional signals. The evaluation was carried out …

Fingerprint recognition systems mainly use minutiae points information. As shown in many
previous research works, fingerprint images do not always have good quality to be used by …

Extracting a palm region with fixed location from an input hand image is a crucial task for
palmprint recognition to realise reliable person authentication under contactless and …

The phase correlation method is a well-known image alignment technique with broad
applications in medical image processing, image stitching, and computer vision. This …

To perform fingerprint matching based on the number of corresponding minutia pairings, has
been in use for quite sometime. But this technique is not very efficient for recognizing the low …

This chapter introduces classical domain knowledge-based and emerging learning-based
techniques for feature extraction in fingerprints. Specific sections are dedicated to explain …

Distortions such as dryness, wetness, blurriness, physical damages and presence of dots in
fingerprints are a detriment to a good analysis of them. Even though fingerprint image …
