Abstract

In this paper, we represent the fingerprint with a novel local feature descriptor, which is composed of minutia, the sample points on associated ridge and the adjacent orientation distribution. Then a novel fingerprint recognition method is proposed combining the orientation field and the local feature descriptor. We compare two descriptor lists from the input and template fingerprints to calculate a set of transformation vectors for fingerprint alignment. The similarity score is evaluated by fusing the orientation field and the local feature descriptor. The experiments have been conducted on three large-scale databases. The comparison results approve that our algorithm is more accurate and robust than previous methods based on the minutiae or ridge features, especially for those poor-quality and partial fingerprints.
