On analyzing of fingerprint direct-access strategies

This paper analyzed several aspect of publicly available fingerprint direct-access strategies over three public data sets, including their advantages and drawbacks, related works, and accuracy performance comparison on the graph of error rate and penetration rate. On recent research, smaller penetration rate at certain error rate (smaller area under curve) could be obtained by certain strategy. Penetration rate equal to 5% could be produced at error rate equal to 4%, 10%, and 1% on FVC2000 DB2A, FVC2000 DB3A, and FVC2002 DB1A, respectively. Through this analysis, hopely it could be used as a foundation for better future developments over new strategies or future improvements over existing strategies in area of fingerprint identification, especially to obtain more accurate result with smaller area under curve and achieved with faster search time.
