The manual lifting of latent fingerprints using conventional methods like the use of carbon black powder is time-consuming and very limited in its scope of application. New technologies for a contact-less and non-invasive acquisition and automatic processing of latent fingerprints, promise the possibilities to inspect much more and larger surface areas and can significantly simplify and speed up the workflow. Furthermore, it allows multiple investigations of the same trace, subsequent chemical analysis of the residue left behind and the acquisition of latent fingerprints on sensitive surfaces without destroying the surface itself. In this work, a FRT MicroProf200 surface measurement device equipped with a chromatic white-light sensor CWL600 is used. The device provides a gray-scale intensity image and 3D-topography data simultaneously. While large area scans are time-consuming, the detection and localization of finger traces are done based on low-resolution scans. The localized areas are scanned again with higher resolution. Due to the broad variety of different surface characteristics the fingerprint pattern is often overlaid by the surface structure or texture. Thus, image processing and classification techniques are proposed for validation and visualization of ridge lines in high-resolution scans. Positively validated regions containing complete or sufficient partial fingerprints are passed on to forensic experts. The experiments are provided on a set of three surfaces with different reflection and texture characteristics, and fingerprints from ten different persons. © (2012) COPYRIGHT Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MakrushinKiertscherHildebrandtetal.2013, author = {Makrushin, Andrey and Kiertscher, Tobias and Hildebrandt, Mario and Dittmann, Jana and Vielhauer, Claus}, title = {Visibility enhancement and validation of segmented latent fingerprints in crime scene forensics}, series = {Media watermarking, security, and forensics 2013 : 5 - 7 February 2013, Burlingame, California, United States ; proceedings ; [part of] IS\&T/SPIE electronic imaging science and technology}, booktitle = {Media watermarking, security, and forensics 2013 : 5 - 7 February 2013, Burlingame, California, United States ; proceedings ; [part of] IS\&T/SPIE electronic imaging science and technology}, publisher = {SPIE}, address = {Bellingham, Wash.}, isbn = {978-0-8194-9438-2}, doi = {10.1117/12.2003661}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HildebrandtArndtMakrushinetal.2012, author = {Hildebrandt, Mario and Arndt, Christian and Makrushin, Andrey and Dittmann, Jana}, title = {Computer-aided fiber analysis for crime scene forensics}, series = {Computational imaging X : 23 - 24 January 2012, Burlingame, California, United States ; proceedings ; [part of] IS\&T/SPIE electronic imaging, science and technology}, booktitle = {Computational imaging X : 23 - 24 January 2012, Burlingame, California, United States ; proceedings ; [part of] IS\&T/SPIE electronic imaging, science and technology}, publisher = {SPIE}, address = {Bellingham, Wash.}, isbn = {978-0-8194-8943-2}, doi = {10.1117/12.909852}, pages = {Art. 829608}, year = {2012}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HildebrandtKiltzSturmetal.2012, author = {Hildebrandt, Mario and Kiltz, Stefan and Sturm, Jennifer and Dittmann, Jana and Vielhauer, Claus}, title = {High-resolution printed amino acid traces: a first-feature extraction approach for fingerprint forgery detection}, series = {Media watermarking, security, and forensics 2012 : 23 - 25 January 2012, Burlingame, California, United States ; proceedings ; [part of] IS\&T/SPIE electronic imaging, science and technology}, booktitle = {Media watermarking, security, and forensics 2012 : 23 - 25 January 2012, Burlingame, California, United States ; proceedings ; [part of] IS\&T/SPIE electronic imaging, science and technology}, publisher = {SPIE}, address = {Bellingham, Wash.}, isbn = {978-0-8194-8950-0}, doi = {10.1117/12.909072}, year = {2012}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{JankowHildebrandtKiltzetal.2012, author = {Jankow, Mathias and Hildebrandt, Mario and Kiltz, Stefan and Sturm, Jennifer and Vielhauer, Claus}, title = {Performance analysis of digital cameras versus chromatic white light (CWL) sensors for the localization of latent fingerprints in crime scenes}, series = {Optics, photonics, and digital technologies for multimedia applications II : 17 - 18 April 2012, Brussels, Belgium ; [part of SPIE Photonics Europe]}, booktitle = {Optics, photonics, and digital technologies for multimedia applications II : 17 - 18 April 2012, Brussels, Belgium ; [part of SPIE Photonics Europe]}, publisher = {SPIE}, address = {Bellingham, Wash.}, isbn = {978-0-8194-9128-2}, year = {2012}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KiltzHildebrandtDittmannetal.2012, author = {Kiltz, Stefan and Hildebrandt, Mario and Dittmann, Jana and Vielhauer, Claus}, title = {Challenges in contact-less latent fingerprint processing in crime scenes : review of sensors and image processing investigations}, series = {EUSIPCO 2012 : 20th European Signal Processing Conference, August 27 - 31, 2012, Bucharest, Romania}, booktitle = {EUSIPCO 2012 : 20th European Signal Processing Conference, August 27 - 31, 2012, Bucharest, Romania}, pages = {1604 -- 1508}, year = {2012}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SturmHildebrandtDittmannetal.2012, author = {Sturm, Jennifer and Hildebrandt, Mario and Dittmann, Jana and Vielhauer, Claus}, title = {Tatortforensik: Beweissicherer Kunstschweißdruck}, series = {D-A-CH Security 2012 : Bestandsaufnahme - Konzepte - Anwendungen - Perspektiven ; [Arbeitskonferenz ; Konstanz, 25. und 26.

The concept utilizes 29 image features which are supposed to allow for a reliable model creation during supervised learning. The evaluation of the trained models indicates average accuracies between 82.50 and 94.53\%. The investigation of image data from 8 sensors leads to the detection of credible pre-processing filters. Those results adumbrate that our method might be suitable to prove the authenticity of the data origin and the integrity of image data based on the detected preprocessing techniques. The preliminary evaluation for manually applied filters yields recognition accuracies between 39.09\% (14 classes) and 53.33\% (7 classes).}, language = {en} }
