Abstract
This paper proposes a novel method for fingerprint liveness detection based on band-selective Fourier spectrum. The 2D spectrum of a fingerprint image reflects the distribution and strength in spatial frequencies of ridge lines. The ridge-valley texture of the fingerprint produces a ring pattern around the center in the Fourier spectral image and a harmonic ring pattern in the subsequent ring. Both live and fake fingerprints produce these rings, but with different amplitudes in different spatial frequency bands. Typically, live fingerprints show stronger Fourier spectrum in the ring patterns than the fake. The proposed method classifies the live and the fake fingerprints by analyzing the band-selective Fourier spectral energies in the two ring patterns. The experimental results demonstrate this approach to be a promising technique for making fingerprint recognition systems more robust against fake-finger-based spoofing vulnerabilities.
