Fingerprint recognition

Prof. Davide Maltoni
Università di Bologna

This lecture introduces fingerprint recognition in a top-down fashion.

Some general schemes are povided 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 characterizing fingerprint recognition are pointed out referring to FVC2002 and FVC2004 (Fingerprint Verification Competition) results.

Hot topics like aliveness detection and synthetic generation of fingerprints are also discussed. Live examples and demos of several techniques are shown during the lecture to better explain some concepts.
