Abstract

Fingerprint orientation plays important roles in fingerprint recognition. This paper proposes a framework for modeling the fingerprint orientation field based on the variational principle. The proposed method does not require any prior information about the structure of acquired fingerprints. Comparison has been made with respect to state-of-the-arts in fingerprint orientation modeling.
