A new technique is introduced for the automatic extraction and location of active sweat pores in a fingertip image. The combined technique includes highpass filtering followed by correlation. Results are presented for a fingertip image obtained using a high-resolution microcapture camera. This automated method of detecting active sweat pores will help to implement liveness detection in existing fingerprint sensors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
