CHECK OF FINGERPRINTS

Abstract: In a method of preventing false acceptance in a system for checking fingerprints, a latent fingerprint on the sensor (1) is detected by the location of a currently recorded fingerprint being compared with the location of a previously recorded fingerprint. If the location essentially corresponds, the recorded fingerprint is considered as originating from a latent fingerprint, and the fingerprint is rejected. Otherwise, the fingerprint is considered as originating from an actual finger on the sensor.

Description: CHECK OF FINGERPRINTS Technical Field The present invention relates to a method of preventing false acceptance in a system for checking fingerprints, which comprises a sensor. The invention also relates to a system for fingerprint checking, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Art It is known to use fingerprint checking systems to control access to a protected object, for example information or premises. A fingerprint checking system can be divided broadly into three parts - a sensor, a memory and a processor. The sensor is used to record fingerprints . The processor compares the fingerprint recorded by the sensor with a previously recorded reference fingerprint, what is known as a template, which is stored in the memory. If the recorded fingerprint corresponds to the reference fingerprint, the system accepts the recorded fingerprint and allows access to the protected object. Two terms used within this field are FAR (False Acceptance Rate) , in other words the frequency of false acceptances, and FRR (False Rejection Rate) , in other words the frequency of false rejections. FAR is therefore a measure of the probability that an unauthorised person, whose fingerprint is not stored as a reference fingerprint in the system, will incorrectly gain access to the protected object, and FRR is a measure of the probability that an authorised person, whose fingerprint is stored as a reference fingerprint in the system, will incorrectly be denied access to the protected object. The ideal value of both terms is 0. When a fingerprint sensor is used, a finger is placed against it. When the finger is removed from the sensor, traces of the fingerprint may remain.

According to a first aspect, the present invention thus relates to a method of preventing false acceptance in a system for checking fingerprints which comprises a sensor, comprising the step of detecting a latent finger- print on the sensor. Thus, according to the invention, the presence of a latent fingerprint on the sensor is detected, so that the latent fingerprint can be rejected. In this way, the risk is removed of an unauthorised person gaining access, by means of a latent fingerprint, to the protected object, for example information or a " room, which is protected by the system for fingerprint checking. One advantage of this method is that it is simple and can be used in existing systems. Furthermore, it does not require any mechanical constructional changes. Nor does it require any complicated and time-consuming external treatment of the surface of the sensor in order to remove any latent fingerprints between recorded fingerprints. As mentioned above, a latent fingerprint is a fingerprint which remains on the sensor after the finger to which it belongs has been removed from the sensor. It should be stressed that the method does not prevent false acceptances, which occur due to other reasons than latent fingerprints . Thus it reduces the overall rate of false acceptance but prevents false acceptance due to latent fingerprints. In one embodiment, the step of detecting a latent fingerprint comprises the steps of recording a fingerprint by means of the sensor and, on the basis of the location of the recorded fingerprint on the sensor, evaluating whether the recorded fingerprint originates > ω DO to μ> μ> σι o Π o un o ι φ μ 1 3 XJ rt Ω XJ Φ rt f O tr Hi 3 Hi tQ μ- rt Hi Hi μ- CD 0 O XJ J XJ Hi X O 3 fi tr f fi CO if 0 o H ^ μ- μ- 0 μ- μ- 3 tr μ- μ- 3 3 3 o fi μ- fi fi ft ) Ω rt μ- 3 CQ μ- CQ Φ Ω tr Ω 0 3 fi 3 3 Φ 3 3 3 Φ μ- CQ μ- 3 0 3 fu μ- 3 CD Φ 3 φ fu Φ 3 tr 3 3 CQ Φ CQ 3 0 CQ tQ H Φ 3 3 tr 3 Ω 3 •ϋ rt 3 rt rt 3 rt fu rt fu ro CQ φ Φ rt fi s Φ φ O fu rt rt rt rt Φ μ- CQ μt tr rt 0 μ- O μ- fu 4 fi 3 m fi CD H fi Φ fi fi ii O J Hi μ- μt fi 3 Φ 0 Ω rt Φ rt f μ- Ω 0 3 O fi 3 tr > XJ » 3 CQ Φ 3 XJ J O •—• ti ¬ 0 0 μ- rt 3 Hi fu μ- tr CQ fu SD 3 Φ 3 Z D μ- fi ro 0 fi rt fi fi • 3 ro 3 3 ro . 3 0 H 0 fi 3 μ- 3 Φ H" rt fi 3 Q ϋ μ- Ω 0 3 Hi if μ- μ- Ω fi < o a 3 3 3 0 co CQ 0 — 1 μ- 0 Φ Φ 0 fi 0 Φ 3 μ- 3 fi rr Φ 3 3 H Φ rt r < 0 ct- Φ μ- 3 μ- Hi fi 0 Hi 3 & Hi Φ Hi J Ω rt Hi Φ rt 0 0 3 rt rt Hi rt m tr - 3 3 rt ro φ 3 rr fi μ- μ- ■ 3 Wy 3 • fi 0 μ- if 3 rt 0 if tr ro • fi if 3 0 CQ fu 0 Φ 3 iQ Ω rt 0 μ- rt 3 O fi 0 Ω Φ Φ Φ μ- $ μ- 3 Φ μ- μ- QJ Φ rt fi Ω 3 CQ μ- 0 0 tr ϋ ti tr Ω fi 3 3 3 3 <!

It is usually sufficient • to compare the recorded fingerprint with a single previously recorded finger- print, because the latent fingerprint . is .destroyed when a new user places his finger against the sensor. In one embodiment, the previously recorded fingerprint is the immediately preceding fingerprint which was considered as originating from a finger placed on the sensor. This means that the previously recorded fingerprint may belong to an unauthorised person and that latent fingerprints of both authorised and unauthorised persons can be detected. In an alternative embodiment, the previously record- ed fingerprint is the immediately preceding fingerprint which was accepted, in other words considered as originating from an authorised person whose reference fingerprint is stored in the system. Thus, according to the latter alternative only fingerprints of authorised persons are stored as the previously recorded fingerprint. Thus, only latent fingerprints of authorised persons can be detected. If the latent fingerprint originates from an unauthorised person, the matching procedure can, however, take care of the rejection of the latent fingerprint so that it does not result in a false acceptance. Alternatively, the check for latent fingerprint is carried out after the matching procedure, so that only fingerprints accepted by the matching procedure are tested. One embodiment also comprises the step of storing the location of the recorded fingerprint on the sensor in the event that the recorded fingerprint is not considered as originating from a latent fingerprint. The location of the recorded fingerprint may replace a previously stored location of a previously recorded fingerprint.

Finally, the partial areas of .the template are matched against the selected partial areas of the sample fingerprint to determine whether a .matching requirement is fulfilled. If so, the recorded sample fingerprint is considered as originating from an authorised person. PCT/SE99/00553 describes a slightly different method for selecting the part areas of the sample fingerprint. If the recorded fingerprint is not considered as originating from an authorised person, step 120, the fingerprint is rejected, step 125. If, however, it is considered as originating from an authorised person, the method continues with a check of whether the fingerprint may be a latent fingerprint . More specifically, the location on the sensor 1 of the recorded sample fingerprint is compared, in step 130, with the location on the sensor 1 of the immediately preceding accepted fingerprint. In this connection, use is made of those partial areas of the recorded sample fingerprint which in step 110 were considered as matching the partial areas in the reference fingerprint. The locations of these matching partial areas in the coordinate system of the sensor are determined, for example the central points of the partial areas can be used, and are compared with the locations of corresponding partial areas of the previously recorded fingerprint. If the location of at least one partial area is the same, step 140, the recorded fingerprint is considered as being located in the same place as the previously recorded fingerprint. The result is that the recorded fingerprint is rejected, step 145, on account of the fact that it is considered to be a latent fingerprint. It should be stressed that also partial areas, the locations of which deviate with one or a few pixels, may be considered as being located in the same place. ω ω to to μ> μ> in o in o en o en 3 rt rt 3 fi fi Ω 13 CQ fi μ- Hi rt 3 0 3 3 rt CD - 3 13 13 Ω 13 13 H Ω ό 3 13 3 f- if μ- 3 CD μ- o O 3 φ 3 3 μ- tr Ω fi μ> ro tr rt- in H 0 3 0 3 fi en 0 3 3 fi 0 ro Ω ti ¬ CQ 3 3 μ- 3 Ω ti ¬ 3 <! φ rt .3 ro ro o rt μ- ti O fi μ- o fi rt 3 rt fi 3 ro 13 CQ 3 Φ 0 ro CQ Φ 3 3 0 3 13 μ- 3 rt ii rt 3 - fi rt μ- Ω μ- CO ro fi rt fi 3 Φ Hi 3 Z CO CD H rt μ- fi μ- rt ro tr 3 Φ 3 Φ 3 3 Ω Hi CD 13 fi rt 13 μ- ^ Ω CO •<: μ 1 •n CQ 3 μ- 3 . 3 fi ro CQ .

The comparison can be carried out by comparing the coordinates of the points, and, if they are the same or essentially the same, the ' current fingerprint is considered as being a latent fingerprint which originates from the preceding fingerprint, and the fingerprint is rejected. It has been found that a good limit value is if the test points are separated by fewer than two pixels in the x direction and the y direction. The limit value is then compared with all the test points. The comparison can be carried out as follows (semi program code) : For I = 1 to number of points Do If abs(RH-R2I)<2 and abs (C1I-C2I) <2 Then Latent Fingerprint present Exit End End Exit Where R1I is the row coordinate of point I of the first image, R2I is the row coordinate of point I of the second image, Cll is the column coordinate of point I of the first image, and Cll is the column coordinate of point I of the second image . If there are no time constraints, the entire image or the entire detailed pattern can be compared. Alternative embodiments Although a special embodiment of the invention has been described above, it is evident for the person skilled in the art that many alternatives, modifications and variations are possible in the light of the above description. Fig. 1 shows the sensor 1, the comparison means 2 and the memory 3 as separate physical units which are interconnected by means of lines. Other variants are also possible. The sensor 1 and the comparison means 2 can, for example, be integrated with one another and located in the same physical unit which is connected to the 5. memory 3 which is located in another physical unit. The sensor 1, the comparison means 2 and the memory 3 can also all be integrated in a single physical unit . In a further alternative, the memory 3 consists of a data carrier in the form of a personal card, e.g. a smart 0 card, on which the fingerprint of the owner is stored in electronic form so that it can be read into the comparison means 2 via a reader which can be located in the same physical unit as the sensor and the comparison unit. It is also possible for the system to have a plura- 5 lity of sensors 1 which are connected to a central unit which contains the memory 3 for storing reference fingerprints and the comparison means 2. The system can con- " "" tain a special reference sensor for recording reference fingerprints . 0 The fingerprint can be stored in the form of a bit map. An efficient algorithm for matching bit maps is described in Applicant's Swedish Patent Application SE 9704925-8. Above, the matching of fingerprints has been descri- 5 bed as based on the comparison of partial areas of a current fingerprint with partial areas of a template. Alternatively, it may, however, be based on the comparison of specific features, also called minutiae points, of the current fingerprint and the template. 0 Furthermore, the detection of a latent fingerprint has been described as based on the comparison of the locations on the sensor of partial areas in a current fingerprint with the locations on the sensor of partial areas in a previously recorded fingerprint. The detection 5 can however also be carried out on the basis of the locations of corresponding features . Another alternative is to extract the contour of the current fingerprint and to compare its location on the sensor with the location o the sensor of a contour of a previously recorded fingerprint . . Yet " another alternative is to match the entire current fingerprint to the entire previously recorded fingerprint and to determine whether they are located in the same position on the sensor. In the above-described embodiment, the location of the previously recorded fingerprint is stored in the memory 3, which may be a memory permanently or temporarily connected to the comparison means 2. However, the location of the previously recorded fingerprint may also be stored in a memory in the sensor or in the same hard- ware component as the sensor. The advantage with this is that the system cannot be fooled by a switch of sensors . Alternatively, the location of the previously recorded fingerprint can be stored in conjunction with the template used for matching of the previously recorded finger- print. Next time this particular template is used for matching, the location of the sample fingerprint is checked against the location of the previously recorded fingerprint stored in conjunction with the template to evaluate whether the sample fingerprint is a latent fingerprint.
