An efficient fingerprint verification system using integrated gabor filters and Parzen Window Classifier

This paper proposes a novel method of image-based fingerprint matching based on the features extracted by “FingerCode”. The experiments show that our system outperforms the standard “FingerCode” recognition method and other image-based approaches. Combining the matching score generated by the proposed technique with that obtained from a minutiae-based matcher results in an overall improvement in performance of the fingerprint matching.
