Deep Learning based Fingerprint Presentation Attack Detection: A
  Comprehensive Survey
Hailin Li Raghavendra Ramachandra
The vulnerabilities of fingerprint authentication systems have raised
security concerns when adapting them to highly secure access-control
applications. Therefore, Fingerprint Presentation Attack Detection (FPAD)
methods are essential for ensuring reliable fingerprint authentication. Owing
to the lack of generation capacity of traditional handcrafted based approaches,
deep learning-based FPAD has become mainstream and has achieved remarkable
performance in the past decade. Existing reviews have focused more on
hand-cratfed rather than deep learning-based methods, which are outdated. To
stimulate future research, we will concentrate only on recent
deep-learning-based FPAD methods. In this paper, we first briefly introduce the
most common Presentation Attack Instruments (PAIs) and publicly available
fingerprint Presentation Attack (PA) datasets. We then describe the existing
deep-learning FPAD by categorizing them into contact, contactless, and
smartphone-based approaches. Finally, we conclude the paper by discussing the
open challenges at the current stage and emphasizing the potential future
perspective.
