Nowadays, both fingerprint and palmprint databases are massive and whose size has
exceeded millions. Therefore, applying a filtering technique, such as indexing, is vital for …

Fingerprint indexing is a key technique in automatic fingerprint identification systems (AFIS).
However, handling fingerprint distortion is still a problem. This paper concentrates on a more …

Fingerprints and palmprints are the most common authentic biometrics for personal
identification, especially for forensic security. Previous research have been proposed to …

This paper is concentrated on an accurate and efficient fingerprint indexing algorithm, which
efficiently retrieves the top N possibly matched candidates from a huge database. In order to …

Fingerprint indexing plays a key role in the automatic fingerprint identification systems
(AFISs) which allows us to speed up the search in large databases without missing …

This paper presents a new algorithm for fingerprint indexing, which is based on minutia
triplets, and it is very tolerant to missing and spurious minutiae. In this sense, a novel …

A palmprint generally possesses about 10 times more minutiae features than a fingerprint,
which could provide reliable biometric-based personal authentication. However, wide …

Fingerprint indexing is critical for identifying fingerprints efficiently in large-scaled fingerprint
databases. The state-of-the-art indexing accuracies are achieved by minutiae-based …

A simple fingerprint identification scheme compares an input fingerprint with all the
fingerprints in the database to find any matching fingerprint. That is, the simple matching …

Nowadays, most fingerprint sensors capture partial fingerprint images. Incomplete,
fragmentary, or partial fingerprint identification in large databases is an attractive research …
