Abstract

We show in this paper how some algebraic methods can be used for fingerprint matching. The described technique is able to compute the score of a match also when the template and test fingerprints have been not correctly acquired. In particular, the match is independent of translations, rotations and scaling transformations of the template. The technique is also able to compute a match score when part of the fingerprint image is incorrect or missed. The algorithm is being implemented in CoCoA, a computer algebra system for doing computations in Commutative Algebra.
