Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of Part II with focus on the background and development of fingerprint recognition using high resolution images. We first discuss the significance of high resolution fingerprint recognition in the context of fingerprint recognition history, and then introduce fingerprint features, particularly the features available on high resolution fingerprint images. Some high resolution fingerprint recognition systems are then discussed, followed by benchmarks of high resolution fingerprint images in the literature and the recent development of deep learning based fingerprint recognition methods. Finally, a brief summary of the chapters in Part II is given.
