Abstract
A minutiae relationship representation and matching method based on curve coordinate system is proposed. For each minutia, a curve coordinate system is established, and the coordinates of other minutiae in this coordinate system is computed. Thus, the coordinate relationship between each pair of minutiae can be evaluated. These relationships are used for pairing minutiae between the template fingerprint and the query fingerprint by means of transferring reference minutiae. The algorithm is tested on FVC2004DBs which include many highly distorted fingerprints. Results have shown that the proposed algorithm achieves improved matching accuracy and is able to cope with highly distorted fingerprints.
