Abstract

This lecture introduces fingerprint recognition in a top-down fashion. Some general schemes are provided to explain the overall architecture of a fingerprint recognition system. Then, the main components (acquisition device, feature extraction, and matching) are discussed in detail. Different state-of-the-art approaches are presented and compared, and the most critical difficulties in fingerprint recognition are pointed out. Hot topics like fully automatic latent fingerprint processing with deep learning approaches are also introduced. Examples and demos of several techniques are shown during the lecture to better explain the main concepts.
