Oluwatayo Samuel Ogunlana . A Comparative Study of Fingerprint Individuality Models. International Journal of Computer Applications. 183, 5 ( May 2021), 40-47. DOI=10.5120/ijca2021921322
The use of fingerprint as a means of identification and verification of human identity cannot be over-emphasized in our society due to its reliability, immutability and individuality. It is still the most reliable biometric used to identify individual. Application areas include but not limited to Police, Security, access control and investigation of criminal cases. Several models have been developed for quantitatively established the degree of fingerprint individuality. These models are based on grids, polar systems, fixed probabilities, relative measurements and generative distributions. This paper provides a comparative study of commonly known fingerprint individuality models with emphasis on methodologies, strengths and weakness.
