Abstract

Recently, as biometric technology grows rapidly, the importance of fingerprint spoof detection technique is emerging. In this paper, we propose a technique to detect forged fingerprints using contrast enhancement and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). The proposed method detects the fingerprint spoof by performing contrast enhancement to improve the recognition rate of the fingerprint image, judging whether the sub-block of fingerprint image is falsified through CNNs composed of 6 weight layers and totalizing the result. Our fingerprint spoof detector has a high accuracy of 99.8% on average and has high accuracy even after experimenting with one detector in all datasets.
