Fingerprint friction ridge details are generally described in a hierarchical order at three levels, namely, Level 1 (pattern), Level 2 (minutiae points) and Level 3 (pores and rid...
—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...
Abstract. Fingerprints are considered to be unique because they contain various distinctive features, including minutiae, ridges, pores, etc. Some attempts have been made to model ...
—Most fingerprint-based biometric systems store the minutiae template of a user in the database. It has been traditionally assumed that the minutiae template of a user does not r...
The extraction of “Level 2” detail — ridge terminations, ridge bifurcations, bridges etc. — from digitised images of fingerprints requires an accurate segmentation of the...
