Biometrics such as fingerprint, face, gait, iris, voice and signature, recognizes one’s identity using his/her physiological or behavioural characteristics. Among these biometric signs, fingerprint has been researched the longest period of time, and shows the most promising future in real-world applications. However, because of the complex distortions among the different impressions of the same finger, fingerprint recognition is still a challenging problem. Computational Algorithms For Fingerprint Recognition presents an entire range of novel computational algorithms for fingerprint recognition. These include feature extraction, indexing, matching, classification and performance prediction/validation methods, which have been compared with state-of-art algorithms and found to be effective and efficient on real-world data. All the algorithms have been evaluated on NIST-4 database from National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Specific algorithms addressed include: learned template based minutiae extraction algorithm; triplets of minutiae based fingerprint indexing algorithm; genetic algorithm based fingerprint matching algorithm; genetic programming based feature learning algorithm for fingerprint classification; comparison of classification and indexing based approaches for identification; and fundamental fingerprint matching performance prediction analysis and its validation. Computational Algorithms For Fingerprint Recognition is designed for a professional audience composed of researchers and practitioners in industry. This book is also suitable as a secondary text for graduate-level students in computer science and engineering.
