Spoof detection for fake biometric images using feature-based techniques
Syed Muhammad Saad, Abdullah Bilal, Sara Tehsin, Saad Ur Rehman · 2020
Ensuring the actual presence of a genuine legitimate trait as opposed to a fake self-manufactured synthetic is a major problem in bio-metric authentication. The proposed system's objective is to improve the reliability of bio metric recognition systems through the use of image quality evaluation. The proposed technique uses general image quality features derived from a single image to distinguish between legitimate and impostor samples, making it optimal for applications with a very low degree of complexity. In the proposed method, we are using publicly available ATVSFir_ DB dataset of iris which makes it highly competitive. We have also tested the algorithm on self-generated dataset for authenticity and rigorous testing purposes. The results acquired from the experimental phase were satisfying and authentic. The proposed method is able to achieve an averaged accuracy of 99.1% for the ATVS-Fir_DB dataset and 99.9% for the self-generated dataset.
