Abstract

A few works have been presented so far on information fusion for fingerprint verification. None. however, have explicitly investigated the use of multi-sensor fusion, in other words, the integration of the information provided by multiple devices to capture fingerprint images. In this paper, a multi-sensor fingerprint verification system based on the fusion of optical and capacitive sensors is presented. Reported results show that such a multi-sensor system can perform better than traditional fingerprint matchers based on a single sensor.
