Abstract :
Fingerprint verification is a socially accepted biometric method for identification of a person. In this paper we propose Hybrid Fingerprint Matching using Block Filter and Strength Factor (HFMBFS). The minutiae and ridge based methods are combined to verify the fingerprint matching using strength factors Alpha (¿) and Beta (ß). For minutiae and ridge extraction Block Filter and Hough Transform are used respectively. It is observed that the matching percentage of two different fingerprints is improved compared to the existing algorithms.
