Optical coherence tomography (OCT), as a non-destructive and high-resolution fingerprint acquisition technology, is robust against poor skin conditions and resistant to spoof attacks. It measures fingertip information on and beneath skin as 3D volume data, containing the surface fingerprint, internal fingerprint and sweat glands. Various methods have been proposed to extract internal fingerprints, which ignore the inter-slice dependence and often require manually selected parameters. In this article, a modified U-Net that combines residual learning, bidirectional convolutional long short-term memory and hybrid dilated convolution (denoted as BCL-U Net) for OCT volume data segmentation and two fingerprint reconstruction approaches are proposed. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first time that simultaneous and automatic extraction is performed for surface fingerprint, internal fingerprint and sweat gland. The …
