Abstract. Although the template fingerprint collected during the registration phase of personal verification systems can be considered in principle as representative of the subject...
—Biometric authentication is emerging as the promising solution to conventional cryptography based authentication technologies. However, protecting users’ biometric templates s...
—A critical step in automatic fingerprint matching is to automatically and reliably extract minutiae from the input fingerprint images. However, the performance of a minutiae ext...
The performance of a fingerprint matching system is affected by the nonlinear deformation introduced in the fingerprint impression during image acquisition. This nonlinear deformat...
