Abstract

Fingerprints are the most widely used human characteristics for the purpose of people identification. However, touch-based fingerprint systems have some drawbacks due to skin elasticity, inconsistent finger placement, contact pressure, small sensing area, environment conditions and sensor noise. In this paper, we present a contactless fingerprint system based on a supervised contactless image acquisition and a ridge minutiae extraction method based on orientation computation. The fingerprint image acquisition method requires only an ordinary camera. The ridge orientation characteristic extraction is based on a double windowing of the ridge ending points and a single windowing of the ridge bifurcation points.
