Definition
In contrast to manual fingerprint matching, automatic fingerprint matching can be efficiently operated on a computing machine following a series of preset procedures. Automatic matching compares two given fingerprint templates (raw images or extracted features) and returns their similarity score (in a continuous range) or a binary decision (matched/non-matched).
Introduction
With the increasing expansion of large-scale databases, manual fingerprint matching cannot satisfy the demand of efficiency in many applications. Automatic fingerprint matching simulates how human experts compare the fingerprints to measure the similarity between two given fingerprint templates or to determine whether they come from the same finger [1]. For most fingerprint matching procedures, experts calculate the similarity score of two templates and give the final judgment with a preset threshold. If the score exceeds the threshold, the compared templates...
