For simplicity of pattern recognition system design, a sequential approach consisting of
sensing, feature extraction and classification/matching is conventionally adopted, where …

As an important feature, orientation field describes the global structure of fingerprints. It
provides robust discriminatory information other than traditional widely-used minutiae points …

Minutiae are very important features for fingerprint representation, and most practical
fingerprint recognition systems only store the minutiae template in the database for further …

The spectral minutiae representation is a method to represent a minutiae set as a fixed-
length feature vector, which is invariant to translation, and in which rotation and scaling …

Fingerprint matching is an important problem in fingerprint identification. A set of minutiae is
usually used to represent a fingerprint. Most existing fingerprint identification systems match …

Biometrics-based verification, especially fingerprint-based identification, is receiving a lot of
attention. There are two major shortcomings of the traditional approaches to fingerprint …

Minutiae feature extraction and matching are not only two crucial tasks for identifying
fingerprints, but also play an eminent role as core components of automated fingerprint …

Improving fingerprint matching algorithms is an active and important research area in
fingerprint recognition. Algorithms based on minutia triplets, an important matcher family …

Billions of fingerprint images are acquired and matched to protect the national borders and
in a range of egovernance applications. Fast and accurate minutiae detection from …

We introduce a novel fingerprint representation scheme that relies on describing the
orientation field of the fingerprint pattern with respect to each minutia detail. This …
