Human Identification Using Dental Biometric Analysis Faisal Rehman, M. Usman Akram*, Kunwar Faraz, Naveed Riaz Department of Mechatronics Engineering, Department of Computer Engineering” National University of Sciences and Technology Rawalpindi, Pakistan faisal_superb@yahoo.c Absiract— Human Wentification is becoming one ofthe major ldwide fsue nov a days. Dental biometrics is the leading biometric technique to identify individuals on the basis of their dental characteristics. Dental Features of persons are naturally unique. They can be used to authenticate humans exactly o almost to the maximum possible similarity. In this paper, we present an efficient workable method to authenticate humar ‘orreetly and identify them property, which is based on dental ‘Work information extracted out from dental data. The method we hhave proposed here comprises of five main processin Initial stage s pre-processing, Le. initial work on dent ‘the Segmentation step, be. getting the relevant part of dental data and other processing steps in. segmentation. Then Features extraction is performed on segmented images and finally biometric analysis is done which is the most important stp for ‘matehing. ‘The method is tested on two databases Le. dental radiographs and colored teeth images and the results are highly encouraging. The data set comprises dental radiographs of 14 persons and colored teeth images of 48 persons. An Equal Error Rate (EER) of 85.7% dental radiographs and 88.8% for colored teeth Images found on matching the performance of our dental biometric analysis, which shows highly accuracy using our proposed methodology on the dataset Keywords Dental biometric analysis, Dental Radiograph, Equal Error Rate, Matching. 1. Inrropucrion The field of biometrics has got so much attention fom the last few years because it has been an interesting and a different way te identify Humans than thal of traditional authentication systems. previously developed like passwords [I]. Under various circumstances, e.g. disasters, conventional biometric characteristics like fingerprints ete, may not be able to work because of their incompatibility in such a situation. In these cases, dental features are considered a useful too for of human ‘identification, In order to achieve our desired mentioned goal, dental biometrics automatically analyzes dental radiographs, stored in a database through some deseribed processing. In addition to forensic dentistry, human identification has boon crucial now a days and a big issue worldwide, Tn eurrent security conditions, biometric identification isthe most promising way to authenticate humans with highest accuracy ISBN: 978-1-4799-4129-2/15/831.00 ©2015 IEEE rate, A lot of research has been done in the field of diferent biometric modalities like figure print, iri, hand veins ete to identify humans. From various modalities, dental biometrics has leading edge over others, One of the most important reasons is that teeth contain natural features which are unique. Secondly a lot of biometrics characteristics have been associated with teeth. Other modalities e figure prints, palm prints, they have more complex features in it. They might leads sometimes towards high error rate, And also, there analysis is more complex. Thus dental biometrics gets priority over other in considering features and analysis point of view: ‘Approaching in a different way, the system of dental biometrics has not as developed as some other modalities. In this sense, it is being an intelligent approach to explore the new fields of research, The biometric process comprises five main stages; the first and foremost step is data collection. It includes Capturing or acquiring any concerned biometric sample, which is in raw data form and has a biometric characteristic. After this part of work, pre-processing of the biometric data sample has been lone, then an algorithm is defined which will extract the lunique and desires features derived from the biometric sample and converts it into biometric data for measuring the properties for making a form of database so that it can be ‘matched to a reference template in the database (2) In performing the matching stage, the biometric data are compared with the template data present in the database as a reference giving a level of matching similarity. The identification of humans on the basis of biomettic data depends on the scored level of similarity resulted in the ching stage. Finally dhe decision making is doue on the basis of similarity level and human recognition is done Human identification has been done in various modalities like figure prints, ears, face, hand vein recognitions. Various strategies have been proposed and a lot of advancement is requited also Here the paper has been structured as; frst we will explain some previous work in dental recognition, then, we will move towards our proposed strategy. Provious works done in the fiold wore only on radiagenphe. We aro mainly focused on
