Biometrics Liveness Detection by Using Image Quality Assessment

Author : Akash S. Dange 1 Mrs. M. R. Banwaskar 2

Date of Publication :7th September 2016

Abstract: A biometric system is a system that uses behavioral and physiological characteristic (e.g. iris, fingerprint, face, keystroke, signature, voice) of a person to identify that person. Now days, these biometric systems are vulnerable to adversary attacks. So, the development of novel and efficient security measure is required for the identification of fake trait. In this paper, we have presented a software based multi-biometric liveness detection system which is used to identify a live trait and intruder. The proposed system uses 30 image quality measures (IQMs). These quality features are extracted from single image which is acquired for verification purpose. The present system assures that the use of liveness detection enhances security of biometric system and provides better performance and also reduces complexity of the system. It has been observed that, the proposed method is very much effective in detecting liveness of iris, fingerprint and face compared with different progressive approaches.
