Abstract

Fingerprint spoofing is a method of bypassing the security of a biometric fingerprint system by using artificial fingerprints created with various materials and techniques. Numerous enhancement technologies are available to improve the quality of the spoof-free fingerprint image. Existing technology requires more processing time for terrible ridge and valley; significant security challenges for authenticating a legal person. The paper proposes a novel Fingerprint Enhancement, object area detection, and Gabor-based ridge era (FEOG) model to enhance the spoof-free fingerprint image. The new method includes morphological finger item vicinity reputation, a normalization process, and Gabor-based ridge enhancement for higher enhancement for better authentication. Our proposed method outperforms the SH-DB-MOL database when tested with various metrics.
