Abstract

How to improve the performance of an existing fingerprint system is an interesting and meaningful problem. Considering the widespread deployment of fingerprint systems, the performance improvement method is very practical and instructive to not only the existing fingerprint systems but also the next biometric systems. In this paper, we propose a novel performance improvement method based on fingerprint's Möbius representation and Choquet integral for an existing fingerprint system. The basic idea of our method is to map the fingerprint similarity as a distance in a geometric space firstly, and then transform the similarity problem between the impressions into a geometric problem through using multiple impressions, and last, map the results obtained in geometric space back to solve the fingerprint similarity problem. The experiments show that the performance achieved by using this method is better than that of other methods.
