Abstract
This chapter presents fundamental concepts and terminology associated with latent fingerprint processing, with particular reference to overlapped latent fingerprints. It introduces the matching process itself, including classical manual latent fingerprints matching procedures. It also presents the design of a modern automated latent fingerprints matching system and describes its main components and steps.

Notes
- 1.
Manual segmentation is still the norm in the current state of the art. In Chap. 4 we present experimental results for an algorithm capable of performing automatic ROI extraction of component fingerprint regions—background (B), single fingerprint (S), and overlapped fingerprints (O)—from the overlapped fingerprint image.
