    Abstract

    The spectral minutiae representation is designed for combining fingerprint recognition with template protection. This puts several constraints to the fingerprint recognition system: first, no relative alignment of two fingerprints is allowed due to the encrypted storage; second, a fixed-length feature vector is required as input of template protection schemes. The spectral minutiae representation represents a minutiae set as a fixed-length feature vector, which is invariant to translation, rotation and scaling. These characteristics enable the combination of fingerprint recognition systems with template protection schemes and allow for fast minutiae-based matching as well. In this paper, we introduce the complex spectral minutiae representation (SMC): a spectral representation of a minitiae set, as the location-based and the orientation-based spectral minutiae representations (SML and SMO), but it encodes minutiae orientations differently. SMC improves the recognition accuracy, expressed in term of the Equal Error Rate, about 2-4 times compared with SML and SMO. In addition, the paper presents two feature reduction algorithms: the Column-PCA and the Line-DFT feature reductions, which achieve a template size reduction around 90% and results in a 10-15 times higher matching speed (with 125,000 comparisons per second).
