1 Quantifying Latent Fingerprint Quality Team: Adviser: Liaison: Jordan Varney, Sarah Scheffler (Fall PM), Christopher Eriksen, Martin Loncaric (Spring PM), Yi-Chieh (Jessica) Wu Nicholas Orlans and Sarah Doyle

2 Harvey Mudd Clinic

3 Project Goal Develop and implement a mathematical model for latent fingerprint quality with regard to AFIS matching and assess the performance of various quality features.

4 Fingerprint Overview Exemplar Prints Taken on purpose Comprise databases wilenet.org Latent Prints Crime scene prints Incomplete Background noise Unknown orientation

5 Automated Fingerprint Identification System

6 Minutiae

7 Latent Suitability for AFIS Identification Good NIST Special Database 27A Bad

8 Project Goal Develop and implement a mathematical model for latent fingerprint quality with regard to AFIS matching and assess the performance of various quality features.

9 Quality Scores Problem: Some latents are not suitable for AFIS identification Too many prints, not enough AFIS time NIST Special Database 27A

10 Quality Scores Problem: Some latents are not suitable for AFIS identification Too many prints, not enough AFIS time Solution: Model latent fingerprint image quality Only use AFIS for good quality latents > NIST Special Database 27A

11 Project Goals Assess latents suitability for identification with AFIS Analysis of existing fingerprint quality metrics Mathematical model for latent fingerprint quality Implementation of quality score

12 Pipeline

14 Segmentation NIST Special Database 27A

15 Minutia Detection NIST Special Database 27A NBIS MINDTCT

16 Good and Bad Minutia Counts NIST Special Database 27A Count high-quality and low-quality minutiae

17 Gabor Minutia Score Recreate a minutia using basis functions Learn mapping of coefficients to quality Chikkerur et. al

18 Frequency Domain Quality Index High-quality prints have narrow peaks in the frequency domain Chen, Yi et. al

19 Direction Field Measure ridge continuity Zaeri, Naser

20 Predicting Quality from Features?

21 Predicting Quality from Features

22 Response Variable Quality: The chance that the correct match (assuming it exists) will appear in the top 20 ranked AFIS results Response: Our approximation of quality, derived from AFIS results

23 Response Variable Q(s): probability that correct match will have similarity score s R(s): probability that an incorrect match will have similarity score less than s

24 Response Variable R(s): probability that an incorrect match will have similarity score less than s

25 Response Variable Probability Match similarity score Q(s): probability that correct match will have similarity score s

26 Models: Clustering/Interpolation

27 Models: Regression

28 Models Response Linear Regression Feature

29 Models Response Linear Regression Feature Capped Linear Regression

30 Models Response Linear Regression Feature Capped Linear Regression Logistic Regression

31 Models Response Linear Regression Logistic Regression Feature Capped Linear Regression Product regression

32 Feature Transformations

33 Feature Transformations

34 Feature Transformations

35 Feature Transformations

36 Log Likelihood Our best statistic for judging a model: The probability of observing testing data, assuming our model is correct Incorporates both how powerful the model is and how consistent its claims are The higher, the better

37 Model Performance

38 Feature Performance

39 High/Low Quality Classification

40 Limitations Only one data set of ~5000 latent prints and 120 exemplar prints used Data set prints only from 6 individuals Only one AFIS

41 Takeaways Calculate quality of a print using a trained model Determined a model which effectively incorporates data from multiple features Reject at least 36% of latent prints with over 99% confidence

42 Questions?

43 Model Predictions versus Response Variable 39% of test prints
