Generative models of pattern individuality attempt to learn the distribution of observed quantitative features to determine the probability of two random patterns being the same. ...
—Fingerprint friction ridge details are generally described in a hierarchical order at three different levels, namely, Level 1 (pattern), Level 2 (minutia points), and Level 3 (p...
Latent fingerprint identification is of critical importance in forensics. While tremendous progress has been made in the field of automatic fingerprint identification, latent...
Fingerprint matching is affected by the nonlinear distortion introduced in fingerprint impressions during the image acquisition process. This nonlinear deformation causes finger...
This paper investigates a new approach for personal authentication by combining unique biometric features which can be acquired from hand images alone. The proposed method attempt...
