Fingerprint Pore Detection: A Survey
It addresses the problem of standardizing and advancing fingerprint pore detection for biometrics and security researchers, but is incremental as it primarily surveys and reimplements existing work.
This paper presents the first survey on fingerprint pore detection, providing an overview of methods, datasets, and evaluation protocols, and includes a baseline method and reimplementations with publicly available code to facilitate research.
This work presents the first survey on fingerprint pore detection. The survey provides a general overview of the field and discusses methods, datasets, and evaluation protocols. We also present a baseline method inspired on the state-of-the-art that implements a customizable Fully Convolutional Network, whose hyperparameters were tuned to achieve optimal pore detection rates. Finally, we also reimplementated three other approaches proposed in the literature for evaluation purposes. We have made the source code of (1) the baseline method, (2) the reimplemented approaches, and (3) the training and evaluation processes for two different datasets available to the public to attract more researchers to the field and to facilitate future comparisons under the same conditions. The code is available in the following repository: https://github.com/azimIbragimov/Fingerprint-Pore-Detection-A-Survey
