Author:Darlow, LN; Webb, L; Botha, NDate:May 2016Fingerprint recognition systems are prevalent in high-security applications. As a result, the act of spoofing these systems with artificial fingerprints is of increasing concern. This research presents an automatic means for spoof-detection ...Read more
Author:Akhoury, SS; Darlow, LNDate:Feb 2015Physiologists have found that fingerprint patterns exist in the inner layers (viz. papillary junction) of the skin
of the fingertip. However, conventional acquisition systems do not have capabilities to extract fingerprints at subsurface ...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:Darlow, LN; Connan, JDate:Nov 2015Surface fingerprint scanners are limited to a two-dimensional representation of the fingerprint topography, and thus, are vulnerable to fingerprint damage, distortion, and counterfeiting. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) scanners are able ...Read more
