GANs generate synthetic fingerphotos for biometric authentication research

Researchers have explored the generation of synthetic fingerphotos using advanced Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), specifically StyleGAN2-ADA and StyleGAN3. This work aims to address the scarcity of contactless fingerprint data and the associated privacy risks by creating realistic synthetic images. The study evaluates the generated fingerphotos based on their realism, privacy preservation, and variety by comparing biometric feature statistics and match scores against real fingerphotos and among synthetic ones. AI

IMPACT Enables development and evaluation of contactless biometric systems without relying on sensitive real-world data.

    Generation of Synthetic Fingerphotos with GANs

    arXiv:2608.15029v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Contactless fingerprinting is an emerging approach to biometric authentication that allows users to scan their fingerprints without touching a scanner. Due to the limited amount of contactless fingerprint data available and the secu…
