Rotation-invariant fingerprint matching using radon and DCT

A new set of promising rotation-invariant features based on radon and discrete cosine transform (DCT) is proposed for fingerprint matching. The radon and DCT of a tiny area in the region of core point of fingerprint image is computed. In the proposed method only 34% DCT coefficients are used for feature extraction. Competency of this approach is tested on standard databases, namely FVC2002 and FVC2004. This approach provides 70% genuine acceptance rate (GAR) at ~0% false acceptance rate (FAR) and 95% GAR at 10% FAR on rotated and non-rotated databases, respectively. Experimental results prove that the proposed feature extraction approach is rotation invariant.

一种基于核主成分分析和组合分类器的虹膜识别方法

提出了一种新的虹膜特征提取与识别方法,该方法利用核主成分分析(KPCA)在高维空间具有较强的特征选择能力来提取虹膜图像的纹理特征。采用了一种距离度量和支持向量机相结合的两级分类方法,前级采用欧式距离来度量图像间的相似性,若符合条件,给出分类结果,否则拒绝,并转入后一级分类器——支持向量机分类,以减少进入支持向量机的样本数目,该组合分类方法充分利用了支持向量机识别率高和距离度量速度快的优点。实验结果表明,该方法提高了虹膜识别率,是一种有效的虹膜识别方法。     

Iris recognition on edge maps

Iris recognition is a potential tool in secure personal identification and authentication in view of properties such as uniqueness, non-invasiveness and stability of human iris patterns. A new approach based on the Hausdorff distance measure is proposed for iris recognition. In contrast to existing approaches that consider grey or colour images, the new approach considers the binary edge maps of irises. Edge maps have advantages in terms of low storage space, fast transmission, fast processing and hardware compatibility. A new measure, called local partial Hausdorff distance, is computed between the binary edge maps of normalised iris images. The proposed dissimilarity measure has been tested on the high-quality UPOL iris images captured in a constrained environment. The recognition performance of the proposed method has been studied for different values of parameters such as block size and partialness. An appropriate choice of these parameters achieves a recognition rate of more than 98%. The results demonstrate the significance of linear features in the iris edge maps in discriminating different irises.

Automatic detection and verification of solar features

A fast hybrid system for the automated detection and verification of active regions (plages) and filaments in solar images is presented in this paper. The system combines automated image processing with machine learning. The imaging part consists of five major stages. The solar disk is detected in the first stage, using a morphological hit‐miss transform, watershed transform and Filling algorithm. An image‐enhancement technique is introduced to remove the limb‐darkening effect and intensity filtering is implemented followed by a modified region‐growing technique to detect the regions of interest (RoI). The algorithms are tested on H‐α and CA II K3‐line solar images that are obtained from Meudon Observatory, covering the period from July 2, 2001 till August 4, 2001. The detection algorithm is fast and it achieves false acceptance rate (FAR) error rate of 67% and false rejection rate (FRR) error rate of 3% for active regions, and FAR error rate of 19% and FRR error rate of 14% for filaments, when compared with the manually detected filaments in the synoptic maps. The detection performance is enhanced further using a neural network (NN), which is trained on statistical features extracted from the RoI and non‐RoI. With the use of this combination the FAR has dropped to 2% for active regions and 4% for filaments.© 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Imaging Syst Technol, 15, 199–210, 2005

Integrating GWTM and BAT algorithm for face recognition in low-resolution images

In biometrics, face recognition is one of the important identification methods with various applications such as, video surveillance, defence, human/computer interactions and many more. The current face recognition systems perform well using the frontal images with high resolution. In contrast, the utilisation of low-resolution (LR) images degrades the performance of face recognition systems. Hence, this paper integrates the Gabor filter?+?wavelet?+?texture (GWTM) operator and the BAT algorithm to increase the performance, while deploying the LR images. The proposed algorithm integrates the uniqueness of Gabor features, the robustness of local features and the wavelet features to handle the inter-person and intra-person variations. This paper utilises the spherical SVM classifier to enhance the recognition performance. Finally, the proposed GWTM operator is compared with other existing algorithms such as, GOM, LBP and LGP based on the parameters of accuracy, FAR and FRR. The proposed GWTM operator attains the highest accuracy of 95% and a minimum FAR of 5%. The results prove that the proposed GWTM yields a performance improvement of 5, 3, 4 and 15% over the GOM, LBP, LGP and GWTM, respectively, in the absence of the BAT algorithm.

仿射变换下的分类识别

特征提取和分类识别是统计模式识别中两大关键步骤。显然,不同的特征提取方法与不同的分类器相结合,识别性能往往是不同的。从微分几何的角度出发,可将特征系数的获得看成线性几何变换,即仿射变换,据此在黎曼空间提出一种基于黎曼度量的分类识别方法。通过对经典最近邻分类器的线性加权,达到更有效地分类识别。不但在理论上将特征系数提取与分类识别合理的结合起来,而且由人脸识别实验表明该方法的有效性,该方法比传统方法的识别率有约 3%的提高。     

基于深度度量学习的轴承故障诊断方法

Implementation of a high-speed face recognition system that uses an optical parallel correlator

We implement a fully automatic fast face recognition system by using a 1000 frame/s optical parallel correlator designed and assembled by us. The operational speed for the 1:N (i.e., matching one image against N, where N refers to the number of images in the database) identification experiment (4000 face images) amounts to less than 1.5 s, including the preprocessing and postprocessing times. The binary real-only matched filter is devised for the sake of face recognition, and the system is optimized by the false-rejection rate (FRR) and the false-acceptance rate (FAR), according to 300 samples selected by the biometrics guideline. From trial 1:N identification experiments with the optical parallel correlator, we acquired low error rates of 2.6% FRR and 1.3% FAR. Facial images of people wearing thin glasses or heavy makeup that rendered identification difficult were identified with this system.     

Finger vein recognition using minutia‐based alignment and local binary pattern‐based feature extraction

With recent increases in security requirements, biometrics such as fingerprints, faces, and irises have been widely used in many recognition applications including door access control, personal authentication for computers, Internet banking, automatic teller machines, and border‐crossing controls. Finger vein recognition uses the unique patterns of finger veins to identify individuals at a high level of accuracy. This article proposes a new finger vein recognition method using minutia‐based alignment and local binary pattern (LBP)‐based feature extraction. Our study makes three novelties compared to previous works. First, we use minutia points such as bifurcation and ending points of the finger vein region for image alignment. Second, instead of using the whole finger vein region, we use several extracted minutia points and a simple affine transform for alignment, which can be performed at fast computational speed. Third, after aligning the finger vein image based on minutia points, we extract a unique finger vein code using a LBP, which reduces false rejection error and thus the equal error rate (EER) significantly. Our resulting EER was 0.081% with a total processing time of 118.6 ms. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Imaging Syst Technol, 19, 179–186, 2009     

A study on restoration of iris images with motion‐and‐optical blur on mobile iris recognition devices

Iris recognition is a form of biometric technology that authenticates individuals by using the unique iris patterns between the pupil and the sclera. To solve security problems in mobile environments, mobile iris recognition devices have been commercialized recently. A motion‐and‐optical blurred image can be sometimes captured because users capture the iris images of a testee by holding the recognition devices. Motion‐and‐optical blurred images reduce iris recognition accuracy. Previous researches of restoring iris image only dealt with optical or motion blurred image. To overcome these problems, we propose a new method of restoring motion‐and‐optical blurred iris images at the same time. This article presents three contributions over previous research. (1) A new focus assessment method is proposed to measure accurate focus scores regardless of motion blurring. (2) Previous research restored coexisting motion‐and‐optical blurred images in terms of visibility, but in this article, we restored them in terms of recognition. (3) We used a modified CLS (Constrained Least Square) filter to prevent the zero‐crossing of the PSF (Point Spread Function) of motion blurring with a uniform shape. So, the iris recognition accuracy was better than when using a conventional CLS filter. Experimental results showed that the EER was 0.796% when using the proposed method and it was 1.431% when not using the proposed method. Consequently, the EER was reduced as much as 0.635% (1.431–0.796%) when using the proposed method. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Imaging Syst Technol, 19, 323–331, 2009

基于Kaiser滤波及噪声抑制优化的虹膜识别

针对Gabor滤波器在数据截断时存在频谱泄露而使滤波通道边缘模糊的现象,本文利用适应性强且性能灵活可调的Kaiser函数,构造具有频率和方向选择性、且边缘清晰的Kaiser滤波通道,提取虹膜频率特征.通过对提取的特征进行幅值分段分析,发现虹膜特征存在一个"有效特征阈值"L,幅值高于L的特征能够有效识别虹膜,而幅值低于L的特征为不相关噪声.采用噪声抑制优化,对噪声特征设置"相位无效码",可以优化海明距离,提高同类虹膜的正确匹配率.实验表明:与Gabor滤波方法相比,本文基于Kaiser滤波的优化方法将虹膜的正确识别率由98.6%提高到99.9%,而且在锚误接受率(EAR)为0的情况下,具有更低的错误拒绝率(ERR).
