Author:Sharma, Ameeth; Singh, Ann; Roberts, Ted; Ramokolo, Lesiba R; Van der Westhuizen, CorrieDate:Nov 2016The optical coherence technique (OCT) technique, which was demonstrated by Fercher and Huang in the early 90s, has made significant strides in bio-medical diagnostic applications in the fields of dermatology, dentistry and ophthalmology. Other ...Read more
Author:Dorasamy, K; Webb, L; Tapamo, JDate:Sep 2015Directional Patterns, which are formed by grouping regions of orientation fields falling within a specific range, vary under rotation and the number of regions. For fingerprint classification schemes, this can result in missclassification due ...Read more
Author:Brown, Dane; Bradshaw, KDate:Sep 2016The feature-level, unlike the match score-level, lacks multi-modal fusion guidelines. This work demonstrates a practical approach for improved image-based biometric feature-fusion. The approach extracts and combines the face, fingerprint and ...Read more
Author:Molale, P; Twala, B; Seeletse, SDate:Nov 2011In this study, the application of classifiers to problems in fingerprint prediction is investigated. Six supervised learning and two statistical fingerprint classification methods (classifiers) are considered: linear discriminant analysis ...Read more
Author:Msiza, IS; Leke-Betechuoh, B; Malumedzha, TDate:Feb 2011Fingerprint re-alignment is an important aspect in the subject of fingerprint biometrics because a fingerprint that has been rotated, voluntarily or involuntarily, can have negative impact on the functionality of an automated fingerprint ...Read more
Author:Mngenge, NA; Mthembu, L; Nelwamondo, Fulufhelo V; Ngejane, Hombakazi CDate:Jul 2015Fingerprint indexing is an efficient approach that improves matching performance significantly in Automated Fingerprint Recognition Systems (AFRSs). Fingerprints are currently the most highly reliable and widely biometrics trait for identification ...Read more
Author:Darlow, LN; Connan, J; Akhoury, SSDate:Apr 2015Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a high-resolution imaging technology capable of capturing a three-dimensional (3-D) representation of fingertip skin. The papillary junction—a junction layer of skin containing the same topographical ...Read more
Author:Brown, K; Bradshaw, KDate:May 2016The lack of multi-biometric fusion guidelines at the feature-level are addressed in this work. A feature-fusion framework is geared toward improving human identification accuracy for both single and multiple biometrics. The foundation of the ...Read more
Author:Msiza, IS; Malumedzha, TC; Leke-Betechuoh, BDate:Aug 2011Fingerprint re-alignment is an important aspect in the subject of fingerprint biometrics because a fingerprint recognition system that does not attempt to re-align an involuntarily rotated fingerprint can create opportunities for falsely ...Read more
Author:Mgaga, Sboniso S; Khanyile, Nontokozo P; Tapamo, JDate:Oct 2019Authentication systems robustness can be affected by the fingerprint image quality. Fingerprint image denoising is essential for better performance of any authentication system. In this paper, most recent wavelet transform based techniques ...Read more
Author:Khanyile, NP; De Kock, A; Mathekga, Mmamolatelo EDate:Sep 2014This paper identifies and analyses the factors that contribute to the similarity between two sets of minutiae points as well as the probability that two sets of minutiae points were extracted from fingerprints of the same finger. Minutiae-based ...Read more
Author:Mlambo, CS; Mathekga, Mmamolatelo E; Nelwamondo, Fulufhelo VDate:Oct 2014This paper classifies existing Hough Transform fingerprint alignment algorithms and compares their performance to determine the one that gives optimal alignment results (translation and rotation). The classification is performed by considering ...Read more
