General Framework to Evaluate Unlinkability in Biometric Template Protection Systems
Marta Gomez-Barrero, Javier Galbally, Christian Rathgeb +1
The wide deployment of biometric recognition systems in the last two decades has raised privacy concerns regarding the storage and use of biometric data. As a consequence, the ISO/…
Privacy-preserving Multi-biometric Indexing based on Frequent Binary Patterns
Daile Osorio-Roig, Lazaro J. Gonzalez-Soler, Christian Rathgeb +1
The development of large-scale identification systems that ensure the privacy protection of enrolled subjects represents a major challenge. Biometric deployments that provide inter…
Reversing Deep Face Embeddings with Probable Privacy Protection
Daile Osorio-Roig, Paul A. Gerlitz, Christian Rathgeb +1
Generally, privacy-enhancing face recognition systems are designed to offer permanent protection of face embeddings. Recently, so-called soft-biometric privacy-enhancement approach…
Optimizing Key-Selection for Face-based One-Time Biometrics via Morphing
Daile Osorio-Roig, Mahdi Ghafourian, Christian Rathgeb +3
Nowadays, facial recognition systems are still vulnerable to adversarial attacks. These attacks vary from simple perturbations of the input image to modifying the parameters of the…
NeutrEx: A 3D Quality Component Measure on Facial Expression Neutrality
Marcel Grimmer, Christian Rathgeb, Raymond Veldhuis +1
Accurate face recognition systems are increasingly important in sensitive applications like border control or migration management. Therefore, it becomes crucial to quantify the qu…
Benchmarking fixed-length Fingerprint Representations across different Embedding Sizes and Sensor Types
Tim Rohwedder, Daile Osorio-Roig, Christian Rathgeb +1
Traditional minutiae-based fingerprint representations consist of a variable-length set of minutiae. This necessitates a more complex comparison causing the drawback of high comput…
GANDiffFace: Controllable Generation of Synthetic Datasets for Face Recognition with Realistic Variations
Pietro Melzi, Christian Rathgeb, Ruben Tolosana +4
Face recognition systems have significantly advanced in recent years, driven by the availability of large-scale datasets. However, several issues have recently came up, including p…
Child Face Recognition at Scale: Synthetic Data Generation and Performance Benchmark
Magnus Falkenberg, Anders Bensen Ottsen, Mathias Ibsen +1
We address the need for a large-scale database of children's faces by using generative adversarial networks (GANs) and face age progression (FAP) models to synthesize a realistic d…
MCLFIQ: Mobile Contactless Fingerprint Image Quality
Jannis Priesnitz, Axel Weißenfeld, Laurenz Ruzicka +4
We propose MCLFIQ: Mobile Contactless Fingerprint Image Quality, the first quality assessment algorithm for mobile contactless fingerprint samples. To this end, we re-trained the N…
Deep Learning in the Field of Biometric Template Protection: An Overview
Christian Rathgeb, Jascha Kolberg, Andreas Uhl +1
