Abstract

Minutiae extraction is a critical step in fingerprint identification, so it is important to find a proper approach to extract minutiae In this paper, we propose a new method which extracts minutiae via principal curves At first, we get a group of principal curves which reflect the structural features of the fingerprint; then we extract minutiae of fingerprint from these principal curves From the result of experiment, we conclude that this new approach is feasible.
