The performance of a fingerprint matching system is affected by the distortion introduced in the fingerprint impression during feature extraction process. This fingerprint features, such as ridge curves distorted in a complex manner. With the recent advancements in fingerprint sensing technology, many sensor devices to capture the fingerprint are now equipped with probability of dual resolution...

-Automated fingerprint recognition has received considerable attention over the past decade . Progress has been made on models of the structure of fingerprints, techniques for the acquisition of prints, and the development of commercial automated fingerprint recognition systems . Despite these advances, there remain considerable opportunities for improvement. The speed of retrieval, and the abi...

Presented here is a fast method that combines curve matching techniques with a surface matching algorithm to estimate the positioning and respective matching error for the joining of three-dimensional fragmented objects. Furthermore, this paper describes how multiple joints are evaluated and how the broken artefacts are clustered and transformed to form potential solutions of the assemblage pro...
