First, it is possible to create arbitrarily large databases for research purposes e.g. of a million or a billion fingerprints at virtually no cost and without legal constraints. Secondly, together with the generated fingerprint images comes additional ground truth information for free such as e.g. the corresponding minutiae template. However, recently it has been shown that existing methods in the literature synthesize images with unrealistic minutiae configurations, usually not visible to the naked eye of an expert. In this paper, we propose an algorithm called Realistic Fingerprint Creator (RFC) for the generation realistic synthetic fingerprint images, which, as a core ingredient, involves a selection procedure how to choose the most 'realistic' synthetic fingerprints to build a database. We have performed a test of realness comparing prints synthesized by RFC and real fingerprints, and we have observed that the proposed RFC is the first method which produces artificial fingerprints that pass this test due to their realistic minutiae configuration."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1109/ispa.2015.7306036"],["dc.identifier.gro","3146930"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/4712"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","chake"],["dc.publisher","IEEE"],["dc.publisher.place","Piscataway"],["dc.relation.conference","9th International Symposium on Image and Signal Processing and Analysis"],["dc.relation.eventend","2015-09-09"],["dc.relation.eventlocation","Zagreb"],["dc.relation.eventstart","2015-09-07"],["dc.relation.isbn","978-1-4673-8032-4"],["dc.relation.ispartof","ISPA 2015 : 9th International Symposium on Image and Signal Processing and Analysis, Zagreb, Croatia, September 7-9, 2015"],["dc.title","Towards generating realistic synthetic fingerprint images"],["dc.type","conference_paper"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Fingerprint image segmentation is typically the first processing step of most fingerprint algorithms and it divides an image into foreground, the region of interest, and background. Two types of error can occur during this step which both have a negative impact on the recognition performance: ‘true’ foreground can be labeled as background and features like minutiae can be lost, or conversely ‘true’ background can be misclassified as foreground and spurious features can be introduced. The contribution of this paper is threefold: firstly, we propose a novel factorized directional bandpass (FDB) segmentation method for texture extraction based on the directional Hilbert transform of a Butterworth bandpass (DHBB) filter interwoven with soft-thresholding. Secondly, we provide a manually marked ground truth segmentation for 10560 images as an evaluation benchmark. Thirdly, we conduct a systematic performance comparison between the FDB method and four of the most often cited fingerprint segmentation algorithms showing that the FDB segmentation method clearly outperforms these four widely used methods. The benchmark and the implementation of the FDB method are made publicly available."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1371/journal.pone.0154160"],["dc.identifier.gro","3147621"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/13338"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/5091"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","chake"],["dc.relation.issn","1932-6203"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"],["dc.title","Filter Design and Performance Evaluation for Fingerprint Image Segmentation"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

In this study, a novel approach is presented to globally model an OF combined with locally adaptive methods. The authors show that this model adapts perfectly to the ‘true OF’ in the limit.

MHs provide a fixed-length feature vector for a fingerprint which are invariant under rotation and translation. This ‘test of realness’ can be applied to synthetic fingerprints produced by any method. In this study, tests are conducted on the 12 publicly available databases of FVC2000, FVC2002 and FVC2004 which are well established benchmarks for evaluating the performance of fingerprint recognition algorithms; 3 of these 12 databases consist of artificial fingerprints generated by the SFinGe software.

To model the formation of fingerprint patterns in a biologically meaningful way these patterns have to become stationary. For the creation of synthetic fingerprints it is also very desirable that rescaling the model parameters leads to rescaled distances between the stationary fingerprint ridges. Based on these observations, as well as the model introduced by Kücken and Champod we propose a new model for the formation of fingerprint patterns during pregnancy. In this anisotropic interaction model the interaction forces not only depend on the distance vector between the cells and the model parameters, but additionally on an underlying tensor field, representing a stress field. This dependence on the tensor field leads to complex, anisotropic patterns. We study the resulting stationary patterns both analytically and numerically. In particular, we show that fingerprint patterns can be modeled as stationary solutions by choosing the underlying tensor field appropriately."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s00285-019-01338-3"],["dc.identifier.pmid","30830268"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/16041"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/59868"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.relation.issn","1432-1416"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.subject.ddc","510"],["dc.title","An anisotropic interaction model for simulating fingerprints"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
