A Novel Approach for Fingerprint Matching Using Minutiae

Fingerprint recognition is one of the most important challenging tasks of the biometrics identification due to the fact that they are easy to obtain and most importantly they are reliable. A number of pattern recognition methods have been used to perform fingerprint matching. Among such methods fingerprint matching based on minutia features is one of the researched problems. So we proposed effective fingerprint matching algorithm based on feature extraction. Also we have presented a novel fingerprint recognition technique for minutia extraction and a minutia matching. For minutia marking we considered one special false minutiae removal method and for minutiae matching we considered alignment based method. Experimental results show that this method achieves a much better matching performance.
