Abstract

Fingerprint image enhancement and minutiae matching are two key steps in an automatic fingerprint identification system. In this paper, we propose a fingerprint recognition technique by using minutiae linking information. Recognition process have three steps ; preprocessing, minutiae extraction, matching step based on minutiae pairing. After extracting minutiae of a fingerprint from its thinned image for accuracy, we introduce matching process using minutiae linking information. Introduction of linking information into the minutiae matching process is a simple but accurate way, which solves the problem of reference minutiae pair selection with low cost in comparison stage of two fingerprints. This algorithm is invariable to translation and rotation of fingerprint. The matching algorithm was tested on 500 images from the semiconductor chip style scanner, experimental result revealed the false acceptance rate is decreased and genuine acceptance rate is increased than existing method.
