Abstract

A fingerprint is a pattern of ridges and valleys that exist on the surface of the finger. The uniqueness of a fingerprint is typically, determined by the overall pattern of ridges and valleys as well as the local ridge anomalies e.g., a ridge bifurcation or a ridge ending, which are called minutiae points. Designing a reliable automatic fingerprint matching algorithm is quite challenging. However, the popularity of fingerprint sensors as they are becoming smaller and cheaper, automatic identification based on fingerprints is becoming not only attractive but an alternative complement to the traditional methods of identification. The critical factor in the widespread use of fingerprints identification is, satisfying the performance e.g., matching the speed and accuracy requirements of the application. The widely used minutiae-based representation utilizes this discriminatory information available in a fingerprint for a matching. However, we extend this process of matching through a triangular feature to improve the matching process. The result shows that it has improvement in recognition process.
