Abstract: The present invention provides a biometrics-based cryptographic key generation system and method. A user-dependent distinguishable feature transform unit provides a feature transformation for each authentic user, which receives N-dimensional biometric features and performs a feature transformation to produce M-dimensional feature signals, such that the transformed feature signals of the authentic user are compact in the transformed feature space while those of other users presumed as imposters are either diverse or far away from those of the authentic user. A stable key generation unit receives the transformed feature signals to produce a cryptographic key based on bit information respectively provided by the M-dimensional feature signals, wherein the length of the bit information provided by the feature signal of each dimension is proportional to the degree of distinguishability in the dimension.

Abstract: A method for corresponding, evolving and tracking feature points in a three-dimensional space performs corresponding, evolving and tracking on the features points after transferring the two-dimensional feature point information in an image information into a corresponding state in the three-dimensional space. A recursion is employed to continuously update the states of the feature points in the three-dimensional space and evaluate the stability of the feature points by evolving. Hence, the obtained three-dimensional feature point information has a stronger corresponding relationship than the feature point information conventionally generated on the basis of the two-dimensional feature point information. As a result, a more precise three-dimensional scene can then be constructed.
