Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel online newborn personal authentication system based on footprint recognition. Compared with traditional offline footprinting scheme, the proposed system can capture digital footprint images with high quality. We also develop a preprocessing method for orientation and scale normalization. In this way, a coordinate system is defined to align the images and a region of interest (ROI) is cropped. In recognition stage, several representative subspace learning methods such as PCA, LDA are exploited for recognition. A newborn footprint database is established to examine the performance of the proposed system, and the promising experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed system.
