An accurate slap fingerprint based verification system.

A slap fingerprint based verification system generally is highly secure. But it cannot handle the problems of temporal deformation and pose variation. In this paper, a template update algorithm has been proposed to ensure better performance of the system. During verification, each single fingerprint is matched and matching scores of all fingerprints are fused using an adaptive score level fusion. The performance of the proposed system has been evaluated on a challenging database containing 1800 slap-images acquired from 150 subjects. Experimental results show that the accuracy is increased by more than 3.5%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
