ABSTRACT
Touch-based fingerprint technology causes distortions to the fingerprint features due to contact between finger and sensor device. Touch-less fingerprint technique is introduced in an effort to solve this problem by avoiding contact between the finger and the surface of the sensor. However, single contact-less images of the finger leads to less captured features and less overlap between the different views of the fingerprint. In this paper, a new touchless approach for fingerprints based on multiple views images is proposed. Three fingerprint images are captured from the left, center and right side of finger using mobile camera. These three images are combined together using the mosaic method in order to construct a large usable area and increase the overlap area. The proposed method has been compared with other proposed touchless methods. Our touchless mosaic method has offered better performance and achieves more fingerprint features compare to single view touchless method. The proposed method has been evaluated using our touchless database that consists of 480 fingerprint images.
