Unsupervised Domain Adaptation for Cross-sensor Pore Detection in High-resolution Fingerprint Images
Vijay Anand, Vivek Kanhangad
With the emergence of high-resolution fingerprint sensors, there has been a lot of focus on level-3 fingerprint features, especially the pores, for the next generation automated fingerprint recognition systems (AFRS). Following the success of deep learning in various computer vision tasks, researchers have developed learning-based approaches for detection of pores in high-resolution fingerprint images. Generally, learning-based approaches provide better performance than handcrafted feature-based approaches. However, domain adaptability of the existing learning-based pore detection methods has never been studied. In this paper, we study this aspect and propose an approach for pore detection in cross-sensor scenarios. For this purpose, we have generated an in-house 1000 dpi fingerprint dataset with ground truth pore coordinates (referred to as IITI-HRFP-GT), and evaluated the performance of the existing learning-based pore detection approaches. The core of the proposed approach for detection of pores in cross-sensor scenarios is DeepDomainPore, which is a residual learning-based convolutional neural network(CNN) trained for pore detection. The domain adaptability in DeepDomainPore is achieved by embedding a gradient reversal layer between the CNN and a domain classifier network. The proposed approach achieves state-of-the-art performance in a cross-sensor scenario involving public high-resolution fingerprint datasets with 88.12% true detection rate and 83.82% F-score.
