Fingerprints are the one of the most important means in the forensics as a means of identification of the criminals owning to the uniqueness and the distinct features in them. Fingerprint identification is considered as ...

Despite the efficacy of minutia-based fingerprint matching techniques for good-quality images captured by optical sensors, minutia-based techniques do not often perform so well on poor-quality images or fingerprint images ...

Abstract. Due to the large size that fingerprint databases generally have, the reduction of the search space is indispensable. In the resolution of this problem, indexing algorithms have a fundamental role. In ...

Fingerprint recognition is arguably the most popular biometric used in authentication of individuals today. One critical step in the process of automatic fingerprint recognition is the segmentation of a digital fingerprint ...

In this article is proposed a new approach to automatic fingerprint verification that is not based on the standard ridge-minutiae-based framework, but in a general-purpose wide baseline matching methodology. Instead of ...
