description

Most of the existing fingerprint extraction techniques currently available are based on ridge structure. The ridge usually has thicker structure than the valley, so that more processing time is needed to extract the ridge than extracting the valley. Taking the advantage of the thin structure of the valley, we proposed an algorithm that reduces the time needed for minutiae extraction. The algorithm was developed in Matlab environment using fingerprint images from FVC2004. In order to show the performance of the algorithm, numerical results are presented.
