Footprint Identification: Review of an Emerging Biometric Trait

Abstract

Biometric systems are progressively replacing traditional password‐based and token‐based validation systems. Security and acknowledgment precision are the two most significant viewpoints to be considered in developing a biometric system. Today, biometric has been effectively conveyed in different fields like criminological science, security, distinguishing proof, and approval systems. In this study, a complete survey is introduced to reveal insight into the most recent advancements in the investigation of footprint‐based individual recognition covering different angles that have been utilized by scientists to improve this biometric modality. The paper presents various techniques developed so far for recognizing a person's identity using foot geometry and footprint structure. Because of a careful examination and conversation, impediments of existing exploration work are discussed and recommendations for future work are given.

ELEKTRA: ELEKTRokardiomatrix application to biometric identification with convolutional neural networks

“…These behavioural recognition modalities are based on the actions of human beings. Secondly, the physiological biometrics are the well-known iris [38,39,40], face [41,42,43] and fingerprint [44,6,45] and some others less popular such as finger veins [46,47], ear [48,49] and footprint [50,51] which are based on physical characteristics of a human being.…”

Plantar Biometrics for Edge Computing

“…However, a small number focused more on biometrics in general, with a subdiscussion on plantar biometrics. One example of this would be Khoker and Singh's survey [14], which focuses on the broader scope of biometrics, herein plantar. This work sheds light on the three types of biometric features, such as the physiological (face, fingerprint, DNA, iris, etc.…”

A protocol to establish trust on biometric authentication devices

“…1,2 Among several emerging biometric-based approaches, fingerprint and face-based authentication mechanisms are the most widely used. 3,4 The features of biometric traits and their authentication mechanisms, such as universality, permanence, uniqueness, the low storage requirement for storing biometric templates, ease of use in fields, inexpensive scanning devices, and so forth, 5 make biometric authentication an attractive option for a variety of applications such as in banking, for home security, and so forth. 6 A biometric-based authentication system requires a scanning device to capture biometric traits, a database to store enrolled biometric templates, and application software to capture and verify the biometric template of the subject.…”
