• Abstract summary: We study the performance of two fingerprint matchers based on minutiae and ridge information under varying image quality. The ridge-based system is found to be more robust to image quality degradation than the minutiae-based system for a number of different image quality criteria.

• Abstract: The effect of image quality degradation on the verification performance of automatic fingerprint recognition is investigated. We study the performance of two fingerprint matchers based on minutiae and ridge information under varying fingerprint image quality. The ridge-based system is found to be more robust to image quality degradation than the minutiae-based system for a number of different image quality criteria.

  This study represents the first investigation about the adaptability of learning-based image codecs in the storage of fingerprint images. At a fixed rate point, learned solutions considerably outperform previous fingerprint coding standards, like JPEG2000. Results prove that the peculiarities of learned compression artifacts do not prevent automatic fingerprint identification.

  We propose a self-supervised dual encoder framework to learn meaningful feature representations to assess fingerphoto quality. A quality prediction model is trained to assess fingerphoto quality with additional supervision of quality maps. Experimental results verify that our approach performs better than the widely used fingerprint quality metric NFIQ2.2.

  We introduce a dual-branch network for portrait image quality assessment (PIQA) We utilize two backbone networks (textiti.e., Swin Transformer-B) to extract the quality-aware features from the entire portrait image and the facial image cropped from it. We leverage LIQE, an image scene classification and quality assessment model, to capture the quality-aware and scene-specific features as the auxiliary features.

  Signal-quality awareness has been found to increase recognition rates and to support decisions in multisensor environments significantly. Here, we study the orientation tensor of fingerprint images to quantify signal impairments, such as noise, lack of structure, blur, with the help of symmetry descriptors. The quantitative results favor quality awareness under all aspects, boosting recognition rates and fusing differently skilled experts efficiently as well as effectively.
