Automatic Fingerprint Recognition Systems
The challenge of a fully automatic fingerprint-recognition system continues to motivate many researchers to address fingerprints and related problems. In addition to fingerprint analysis in law enforcement, civilian applications are now being planned because of unique benefits that fingerprint technology offers. Automatic Fingerprint Recognition Systems
assesses the challenges for achieving fully automatic operation. In addition, it examines advances in the various aspects of fingerprint recognition: newer models of individuality analysis, new technologies for inkless sensors, empirical evaluation of fingerprint recognition performance, synthetic generation of fingerprint images, fingerprint videos, and new large-scale systems for fingerprint identification. The book offers a history of fingerprint research and also confronts its future -- in particular, how research in the allied fields of computer vision, image processing, pattern recognition, and empirical performance evaluation will advance the science and technology of fingerprint identification.
