Fingerprint Scaling for Sensor Interoperability

Article Preview

Abstract:

The need for sensor interoperability has increased tremendously in many large-scale fingerprint applications such as e-commerce, welfare-disbursement and e-education. In this paper, we present fingerprint scaling, an innovative fingerprint system module, which resizes the fingerprint images to solve the problem of sensor interoperability with minimum modification to existing system. In template-based scaling methods, we have developed an estimation method using Delaunay triangulation algorithm. The efficacy of the scaling technique has been assessed by embedding a scaling module into a traditional fingerprint recognition system. Our experiments have shown very positive results. Experimental results indicated that the accuracy and robustness of fingerprint system can be improved effectively by embedding such a scaling module into the traditional framework of fingerprint systems under multi-sensor situation.
