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 …

Most fingerprint recognition systems are based on the use of a minutiae set, which is an
unordered collection of minutiae locations and orientations suffering from various …

The spectral minutiae representation is designed for combining fingerprint recognition with
template protection. This puts several constraints to the fingerprint recognition system: first …

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

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

At today, thanks to the high discriminability of minutiae and the availability of standard
formats, minutia-based fingerprint matching algorithms are the most widely adopted …

Incorporation of global features in minutia-based fingerprint recognition schemes enhances
their recognition capability but at the expense of a substantially increased complexity. In this …

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

Many fingerprint recognition systems are based on minutiae matching. However, the
recognition accuracy of minutiae-based matching algorithms is highly dependent on the …

Minutiae, which are the endpoints and bifurcations of fingerprint ridges, allow a very
discriminative classification of fingerprints. However, a minutiae set is an unordered set and …
