FINGERPRINT IMAGE DATABASE AND METHOD OF MATCHING FINGERPRINT SAMPLE TO FINGERPRINT IMAGES

摘要

A database of fingerprint images and methods of using such a database are disclosed. The database may have at least two fingerprint images that are impression images produced by a single finger. Each impression image shows a different portion of the friction ridge surface of the finger. Methods using the database may be focused on determining whether a match exists between a fingerprint sample and the database images.
