Fingerprint spoof detection using minutiae-based local patches

The individuality of fingerprints is being leveraged for a plethora of day-to-day applications, ranging from unlocking a smartphone to international border security. While the primary purpose of a fingerprint recognition system is to ensure a reliable and accurate user authentication, the security of the recognition system itself can be jeopardized by spoof attacks. This study addresses the problem of developing accurate and generalizable algorithms for detecting fingerprint spoof attacks. We propose a deep convolutional neural network based approach utilizing local patches extracted around fingerprint minutiae. Experimental results on three public-domain LivDet datasets (2011, 2013, and 2015) show that the proposed approach provides state of the art accuracies in fingerprint spoof detection for intra-sensor, cross-material, cross-sensor, as well as cross-dataset testing scenarios. For example, the proposed approach achieves a 69% reduction in average classification error for spoof detection under both known material and cross-material scenarios on LivDet 2015 datasets.
