On The Fundamental Performance For Fingerprint Matching

چکیده
Fingerprints have long been used for person authentication. However, there is not enough scientific research to explain the probability that two fingerprints, which are impressions of different fingers, may be taken as the same one. In this paper, we propose a formal framework to estimate the fundamental algorithm independent error rate of fingerprint matching. Unlike a previous work, which assumes that there is no overlap between any two minutiae uncertainty areas and only measures minutiae’s positions and orientations, in our model, we do not make this assumption and measure the relations, i.e. ridge counts, between different minutiae as well as minutiae’s positions and orientations. The error rates of fingerprint matching obtained by our approach are significantly lower than that of previously published research. Results are shown using NIST-4 fingerprint database. These results contribute towards making fingerprint matching a science and settling the legal challenges to fingerprints.

Comparing performance of different fingerprint matchers by using StirMark distorted images
Present thesis 1 aims to investigate the influences of “natural perturbations” in fingerprint images on the matching performance of different fingerprint matchers and in particular different types of fingerprint matchers (minutiae-based as well as non-minutiae-based). The term “natural” hereby denotes those kinds of perturbations, that frequently occur in real-life fingerprint application scena...
