Minutiae-based representation is the most widely adopted ﬁngerprint representation scheme. The compactness of minutiae template has created an impression that the minutiae template does not contain sufﬁcient information to allow the reconstruction of the original ﬁngerprint image. This belief has now been shown to be false; several algorithms have been proposed that can reconstruct ﬁngerprint images from minutiae templates. However, these reconstruction techniques have a common weak point: many spurious minutiae, not included in the original minutiae template, are generated in the reconstructed image. Moreover, some of these techniques can only reconstruct a partial ﬁngerprint. In this paper, a novel ﬁngerprint reconstruction algorithm is proposed, which not only reconstructs the whole ﬁngerprint, but the reconstructed ﬁngerprint contains very few spurious minutiae. A ﬁngerprint image is modeled as a 2D Frequency Modulation (FM) signal whose phase consists of the cont...
