A new approach to reference point location in fingerprint recognition

A new approach to reference point location in fingerprint recognition

Fingerprint matching is one of the most important problems in Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS). In this paper a new method of the reference point alignment has been presented. A new approach of reference point localization is based on so-called identification masks which have been composed on the basis of analysis of biometric characteristic of human finger. Construction of such masks h...

A New Reference Point for Fingerprint Recognition

A new reference point for fingerprint recognition called a focal point is proposed. The focal point is an expected focus of curved ridges of fingerprint images. The focal point is designed as a center of moment in polar coordinate for the fingerprint matching method. The focal point for any type of fingerprint images can be identified and tested with various orientation, elastic distortion and ...

Fingerprint Reference Point Detection

A robust fingerprint recognition algorithm should tolerate the rotation and translation of the fingerprint image. One popular solution is to consistently detect a unique reference point and compute a unique reference orientation for translational and rotational alignment. This paper develops an effective algorithm to locate a reference point and compute the corresponding reference orientation c...
