✦ Synopsis

A novel procedure for fingerprint enhancement filter design is described. Fingerprints are best used as unique and invariant identifiers of individuals. Identification of fingerprint images is based on matching the features obtained from a query image against those stored in a database. Poor quality of fingerprint images makes serious problems in the performance of subsequent matching process. The main contribution of this work is to quantify and justify the functional relationship between image features and filter parameters. In this work, the enhancement process is adapted to the input image characteristics to improve its efficiency. Experimental results show the superiority of the proposed enhancement algorithm compared to the best fingerprint enhancement procedures reported in the literature.
