Abstract: In contemporary society, with the popularity of smart wearable devices, people are more inclined to use convenient and efficient identity verification based on biometrics. Human fingerprints are one of the most commonly used biometric factors, which have the advantages of uniqueness, convenience and security. Compared with traditional password authentication, fingerprint authentication system has extremely high security, but it is still vulnerable to fingerprint spoofing attacks. Counterfeiters can imitate user fingerprints by using various human body simulation materials, thereby realising illegal authentication and infringing user rights and interests, so liveness detection is quite necessary. According to the fingerprint image and biometric information obtained by the sensor, the fingerprint liveness detection (FLD) can distinguish whether the fingerprint is from a real person. This paper reviews the development history and the latest progress in the field of FLD. Both hardware and software based state-of-the-art methods are thoroughly presented to help researchers to carry out further research.
