Abstract

Latent fingerprint is a very sensitive topic in digital forensic as a final verdict can be given to the criminal on its basis.  This sensitiveness is due to two main reasons: (1) uniqueness of fingerprint in every human existence is proven to be a universal truth, and (2) latent fingerprint is a type of fingerprint which is not visible through the necked eye and gets deposited to the surface by the person unintentionally, telling the story of his/her presence. From the past 50 years, latent is used as human identification in forensics. These identification phases have many simultaneous steps such as data collection, preprocessing, extraction, matching and decision. Earlier these steps are performed manually but gradually the world moved to the automatic system with invent of technology. Since then there is a lot of evaluation of techniques, methods or algorithms, it happens in different aspects of identification system phases. One of the steps is the extraction phase, which includes three levels. There are a lot of existing models based on Level-1 (features: ridge pattern) and Level-2 (feature: minutiae) but very few have worked in the field of Level-3 (Features: pores) feature extraction. In this paper, we have described an identification framework which uses pores-based feature extraction. This method is compared with some other popular extraction methods like inversion and Gabor filter. Results of experiments in Tables 1 and 2 show that the performance rate of CNN is better then inverse and Gabor filter.
