Abstract

We present a system for fingerprint verification that approaches the problem as a two-class pattern recognition problem. The features extracted by ''FingerCode'' are used to capture the ridge strength. This feature vector is then classified as genuine or impostor according to a novel approach to handle the fingerprint verification as a two-class problem. Moreover, we show that extracting the features from sub-images around the core permits to better represent the local information.
