Fingerprint matching based on linking information structure of minutiae

초록

In this paper, we propose a new fingerprint recognition technique by using minutiae linking information. We introduce matching process using minutiae linking information. Introduction of linking information into the minutiae matching process is a simple but accurate way, which solves the problem of reference minutiae-pair selection with low cost in comparison stage of two fingerprints. This algorithm is invariant to translation and rotation of fingerprint. The matching algorithm was tested on 500 images from the semiconductor chip style scanner. Experimental result revealed the false acceptance rate is decreased and genuine acceptance rate is increased than existing method.
