Abstract
This paper proposes a novel design approach for a secured compressed sensing system for fingerprint sensing and transmission. In the proposed design, the first stage is acquiring the signal followed by sparsely modeling it using Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) algorithm then compressing. In addition to compressing, we multiply the sparse modeled data by a novel, deterministic, and partially orthogonal Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) sensing matrix to guarantee its security. Furthermore, the construction of the sensing matrix uses a modified Multiplicative Linear Congruential Generator (MLCG) to select the row index appropriately from chaotically re-arranged rows of DCT pseudo-randomly. On the other hand, the compressed image's simultaneous recovery and decryption accomplished using a convex optimization method—the proposed system tested by employing different image and security assessment techniques. The results show that we have archived a better Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) than the recommended value for wireless transmission using samples below 25%.
