Abstract

Fingerprint indexing is an efficient technique that greatly improves the performance of Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems. We propose a continuous fingerprint indexing method based on location, direction estimation and correlation of fingerprint singular points. There have been many approaches introduced in the design of feature extraction. Based on orientation field, Firstly, we divide it into blocks to compute the Poincaré Index. Then, the blocks which may have singularities are detected in the block images. Experiment show the present algorithm is robust than the traditional method on poor quality images.
