This tutorial introduces fingerprint recognition systems and their main components: sensing, feature extraction and matching. The basic technologies are surveyed and some state-of-...
Fingerprint friction ridge details are generally described in a hierarchical order at three levels, namely, Level 1 (pattern), Level 2 (minutiae points) and Level 3 (pores and rid...
The extraction of “Level 2” detail — ridge terminations, ridge bifurcations, bridges etc. — from digitised images of fingerprints requires an accurate segmentation of the...
Fingerprint recognition is one of the most reliable and popular biometric recognition methods in these days. In this paper, we describe a fingerprint recognition system consisting...
—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...
