A Tutorial on Fingerprint Recognition

  • Chapter
Advanced Studies in Biometrics

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNIP,volume 3161))

Abstract

This tutorial introduces fingerprint recognition systems and their main components: sensing, feature extraction and matching. The basic technologies are surveyed and some state-of-the-art algorithms are discussed. Due to the extent of this topic it is not possible to provide here all the details and to cover a number of interesting issues such as classification, indexing and multi-modal systems. Interested readers can find in [21] a complete and comprehensive guide to fingerprint recognition.
