Fingerprint minutiae matching algorithm for real time system

Many fingerprint matching algorithms have been reported in articles in recent years. And people did fingerprint images matching through minutiae matching in most of the algorithms. In this paper, we proposed a new fingerprint minutiae matching algorithm, which is fast, accurate and suitable for the real time fingerprint identification system. In this algorithm we used the core point to determine the reference point and used a round bounding box for matching. Experiments done on a set of fingerprint images captured with a scanner showed that our algorithm is faster and more accurate than Xiping Luo's algorithm.
