Fingerprint Spoof Detection: Temporal Analysis of Image Sequence
We utilize the dynamics involved in the imaging of a fingerprint on a touch-based fingerprint reader, such as perspiration, changes in skin color (blanching), and skin distortion, to differentiate real fingers from spoof (fake) fingers. Specifically, we utilize a deep learning-based architecture (CNN-LSTM) trained end-to-end using sequences of minutiae-centered local patches extracted from ten color frames captured on a COTS fingerprint reader. A time-distributed CNN (MobileNet-v1) extracts spatial features from each local patch, while a bi-directional LSTM layer learns the temporal relationship between the patches in the sequence. Experimental results on a database of 26,650 live frames from 685 subjects (1,333 unique fingers), and 32,910 spoof frames of 7 spoof materials (with 14 variants) shows the superiority of the proposed approach in both known-material and cross-material (generalization) scenarios. For instance, the proposed approach improves the state-of-the-art cross-material performance from TDR of 81.65
