Latent fingerprint identification is attracting increasing interest because of its important role
in law enforcement. Although the use of various fingerprint features might be required for …

Fingerprint plays a fundamental role in community security and criminal investigation, such
as forensic investigation, law enforcement, customs access and public security organs. This …

The use of an individual's biometric characteristics to advance authentication and
verification technology beyond the current dependence on passwords has been the subject …

This paper introduces an intelligent computational approach to automatically authenticate
fingerprint for personal identification and verification. The feature vector is formed using …

Traditional fingerprint recognition systems are vulnerable to attacks, such as the use of
artificial fingerprints, and poor performance will be achieved if the captured surface …

Fingerprint classification is one of the most common approaches to accelerate the
identification in large databases of fingerprints. Fingerprints are grouped into disjoint …

Contactless fingerprint recognition is highly promising and an essential component in the
automatic fingerprint identification system. However, due to the inherent characteristic of …

Currently, most mobile devices adopt very small fingerprint sensors that only capture small
partial fingerprint images. Accordingly, conventional minutiae-based fingerprint matchers …

Wearable devices have flourished over the past ten years providing great advantages to
people and, recently, they have also been used for identity authentication. Most of the …

Nowadays, both fingerprint and palmprint databases are massive and whose size has
