Abstract

In this short note, we show that a Delaunay Quadrangle based Fingerprint authentication system proposed in a 2014 IEEE-TIFS paper has issues in it. Specifically, the authors of the proposed system use a so called Topology Code to compare quadrangles in the context of Fingerprint authentication. We show that there are shortcomings in this proposal. As the original proposal along with its deficiencies has been utilized and built upon in further research, there is a need to further correct the record and motivate changes to the original proposal as well as the papers that built upon the original proposal.
