Nonlinear deformations in fingerprint images, arising from the elasticity of the skin as well as the pressure and movement of the finger during image acquisition, lead to diffi...
Generative models of pattern individuality attempt to represent the distribution of observed quantitative features, e.g., by learning parameters from a database, and then use such...
—Most fingerprint-based biometric systems store the minutiae template of a user in the database. It has been traditionally assumed that the minutiae template of a user does not r...
Most fingerprint matching systems are based on matching minutia points between two fingerprint images. Each minutia is represented by a fixed number of attributes such as the loca...
Fingerprint distortion changes both the geometric position and orientation of minutiae, and leads to difficulties in establishing a match among multiple impressions acquired from ...
