Abstract

Due to the small number of classes and uneven distribution, the Henry's fingerprint classification approach is not able to provide an efficient way to narrow down the search when identifying a person in a large database. In this paper, three symmetrical filters are used to measure different orientation structures. We proposed a new fingerprint indexing approach based on these three symmetrical measurements. Experiments conducted on the NIST database 4 show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
