First, an overview of the state of the art in fingerprint recognition, including current problems and challenges, is presented. It also summarizes the fingerprint databases and evaluation campaigns. This is followed by a description of the BioSecure Benchmarking Framework for Fingerprints, using the NIST Fingerpint Image Software (NFIS2), the publicly available MCYT-100 database, and two evaluation protocols.
Fingerprint recognition refers to the automated method of identifying or confirming the identity of an individual based on the comparison of two fingerprints. Fingerprint recognition is one of the best-known biometrics, and is by far the most widely used biometric solution for authentication in computerized systems. The reasons for fingerprint recognition are so popular are ease of acquisition, established usage and acceptance compared to other biometric data, and the fact that there are numerous (ten) sources of this biometric in each individual.
The three basic patterns of fingerprints are the arc, the loop and the spiral. An arch is a pattern in which the ridge enters one side of the finger, then rises in the center forming an arch and exits on the other side of the finger. With a bow, the ridge enters one side of the finger, then forms a curve and leaves the same side of the finger of the one that entered. Loops are the most common pattern on fingerprints. Finally a whorl is the pattern you have when the crests form circular around a central point.
