Partial Fingerprint Verification via Spatial Transformer Networks

Partial fingerprint verification is a challenging task because of the few features contained in small area as well as the large rotation angle and translation between query images and template images. In this paper, we propose a new framework of partial fingerprint verification based on spatial transformer networks (STN) model, where a transform model, i.e., AlignNet network, is proposed to estimate the alignment parameters, and the verification is modeled as a binary classification task. The experimental results on the simulated datasets created from FVC2004 and the real-world dataset FVC2006 DB1 show that our method is invariant to rotation, and also robust to different kinds of scanners, and dramatically outperforms the rank-1 entry of FVC2006 participants. The EER on FVC2006 DB1 of the proposed algorithm is 3.587% compared to that of 5.564%, the best of FVC2006 DB1 entries.
