According to recent research from Beijing, People's Republic of China, "Minutiae are very important features for fingerprint representation, and most practical fingerprint recognition systems only store the minutiae template in the database for further usage. The conventional methods to utilize minutiae information are treating it as a point set and finding the matched points from different minutiae sets."
"In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm to use minutiae for fingerprint recognition, in which the fingerprint's orientation field is reconstructed from minutiae and further utilized in the matching stage to enhance the system's performance. First, we ...
