Journal ArticleDOI
Fingerprint image enhancement: algorithm and performance evaluation
Lin Hong,Yifei Wan,Anil K. Jain +2 more
TL;DR: A fast fingerprint enhancement algorithm is presented, which can adaptively improve the clarity of ridge and valley structures of input fingerprint images based on the estimated local ridge orientation and frequency.
Journal ArticleDOI
On-line fingerprint verification
TL;DR: An improved version of the minutia extraction algorithm proposed by Ratha et al. (1995), which is much faster and more reliable, is implemented for extracting features from an input fingerprint image captured with an online inkless scanner and an alignment-based elastic matching algorithm has been developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Filterbank-based fingerprint matching
TL;DR: A filter-based fingerprint matching algorithm which uses a bank of Gabor filters to capture both local and global details in a fingerprint as a compact fixed length FingerCode and is able to achieve a verification accuracy which is only marginally inferior to the best results of minutiae-based algorithms published in the open literature.
Journal ArticleDOI
An identity-authentication system using fingerprints
TL;DR: The design and implementation of a prototype automatic identity-authentication system that uses fingerprints to authenticate the identity of an individual is described and an improved minutiae-extraction algorithm is developed that is faster and more accurate than the earlier algorithm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biometric identification
TL;DR: As people become more connected electronically, the ability to achieve a highly accurate automatic personal identification system is substantially more critical and organizations are looking to automated identity authentication systems to improve customer satisfaction and operating efficiency.
