Driven by human experts, today this process is very time consuming. An automation of both examination of suspicious areas and acquisition of fingerprints lead on the one hand to the covering of larger surfaces and on the other hand to significant speed up of the evidence collection. This work presents an experimental study on capabilities of chromatic white-light sensor (CWL) regarding the contact-less localization of latent fingerprints on differently challenging substrates. The fully automatic CWL-based system is implemented from the acquisition through the feature extraction right up to the classification. The key objective of the work is to develop a methodological approach for the quantitative evaluation of the localization success. Based on the proposed performance measures, the optimal system parameters such as scan resolution, extracted features and classification scheme are specified dependent on the surface material. Our experiments from an actual project with the sensor industry partner show convincing localization performance on easy-to-localize and adequate performance on moderate-to-localize substrates. The hard-to-localize substrates require further improvements of the localization system.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MakrushinHildebrandtFischeretal.2012, author = {Makrushin, Andrey and Hildebrandt, Mario and Fischer, Robert and Kiertscher, Tobias and Dittmann, Jana and Vielhauer, Claus}, title = {Advanced techniques for latent fingerprint detection and validation using a CWL device}, series = {In: Proceedings of SPIE 8436, 84360V. 2012.}, booktitle = {In: Proceedings of SPIE 8436, 84360V. 2012.}, doi = {10.1117/12.922235}, year = {2012}, abstract = {The technology-aided support of forensic experts while investigating crime scenes and collecting traces becomes a more and more important part in the domains of image acquisition and signal processing. 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 ;

We use 2 different approaches for automatically creating 3940 images of morphed faces. Based on this data set, 86614 images are created using StirTrace. A manual selection of 183 high quality morphs is used to derive tendencies based on the subjective forgery quality. Our results show that the anomaly detection seems to be able to detect anomalies in the morphing regions, the multi-compression-anomaly detection performance after the processing can be differentiated into good (e.g. cropping), partially critical (e.g. rotation) and critical results (e.g. additive noise).

If successful, the attack has an immense impact on many biometric authentication scenarios including the application of electronic machine-readable travel document (eMRTD) at automated border control gates. We extend the StirTrace framework for benchmarking FMF attacks by adding five issues: a novel three-fold definition for the quality of morphed images, a novel FMF realisation (combined morphing), a post-processing operation to simulate the digital image format used in eMRTD (passport scaling 15 kB), an automated face recognition system (VGG face descriptor) as additional means for biometric quality assessment and two feature spaces for FMF detection (keypoint features and fusion of keypoint and Benford features) as additional means for forensic quality assessment. We show that the impact of StirTrace post-processing operations on the biometric quality of morphed face images is negligible except for two noise operators and passport scaling 15 kB, the impact on the forensic quality depends on the type of post-processing, and the new FMF realisation outperforms the previously considered ones.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MakrushinNeubertDittmann2017, author = {Makrushin, Andrey and Neubert, Tom and Dittmann, Jana}, title = {Automatic Generation and Detection of Visually Faultless Facial Morphs}, series = {Konferenz: International Conference on Computer Vision Theory and Applications, 2017/ Titel: Proceedings of the 12th International Joint Conference on Computer Vision, Imaging and Computer Graphics Theory and Applications}, booktitle = {Konferenz: International Conference on Computer Vision Theory and Applications, 2017/ Titel: Proceedings of the 12th International Joint Conference on Computer Vision, Imaging and Computer Graphics Theory and Applications}, publisher = {SCITEPRESS - Science and Technology Publications}, address = {Porto, Portugal}, isbn = {978-989-758-225-7 978-989-758-226-4 978-989-758-227-1}, doi = {10.5220/0006131100390050}, pages = {39 -- 50}, year = {2017}, abstract = {This paper introduces an approach to automatic generation of visually faultless facial morphs along with a proposal on how such morphs can be automatically detected. It is endeavored that the created morphs cannot be recognized as such with the naked eye and a reference automatic face recognition (AFR) system produces high similarity scores while matching a morph against faces of persons who participated in morphing. Automatic generation of morphs allows for creating abundant experimental data, which is essential (i) for evaluating the performance of AFR systems to reject morphs and (ii) for training forensic systems to detect morphs. Our first experiment shows that human performance to distinguish between morphed and genuine face images is close to random guessing. In our second experiment, the reference AFR system has verified 11.78\% of morphs against any of genuine images at the decision threshold of 1\% false acceptance rate. These results indicate that facial morphing is a serious threat to access control systems aided by AFR and establish the need for morph detection approaches. Our third experiment shows that the distribution of Benford features extracted from quantized DCT coefficients of JPEG-compressed morphs is substantially different from that of genuine images enabling the automatic detection of morphs.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SeiboldHilsmannMakrushinetal.2019, author = {Seibold, Clemens and Hilsmann, Anna and Makrushin, Andrey and Kraetzer, Christian and Neubert, Tom and Dittmann, Jana and Eisert, Peter}, title = {Visual Feature Space Analyses of Face Morphing Detectors}, series = {Konferenz: 2019 IEEE International Workshop on Information Forensics and Security (WIFS), Delft, Netherlands, 2019/ Konferenztitel: 2019 IEEE International Workshop on Information Forensics and Security (WIFS)}, booktitle = {Konferenz: 2019 IEEE International Workshop on Information Forensics and Security (WIFS), Delft, Netherlands, 2019/ Konferenztitel: 2019 IEEE International Workshop on Information Forensics and Security (WIFS)}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {Delft, Netherlands}, isbn = {978-1-72813-217-4}, doi = {10.1109/WIFS47025.2019.9034983}, pages = {1 -- 6}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MakrushinNeubertDittmann2019, author = {Makrushin, Andrey and Neubert, Tom and Dittmann, Jana}, title = {Humans Vs.
