Patent attributes
A method for detection of altered fingerprints includes receiving, by at least one processor, an image of a fingerprint from a fingerprint reader. The image has an image resolution. The processor determines a spatial location of the fingerprint within the image. The processor crops the image around the spatial location to provide a cropped image. The processor generates multiple derived images using the cropped image, such that each derived image has the image resolution. The processor generates a multiple-channel image using the derived images. The processor scales the multiple-channel image to an image size. The processor generates a score using a machine learning model. The score is based on the multiple-channel image and is indicative of a likelihood that the fingerprint has been altered.
