A skin pattern identification system using a process in which a pattern is first captured (20), minutiae are then found (21), and the captured print is then aligned with a reference print on the basis of the relative positions of their minutiae (22, 23). Techniques in current use for the identification of fingerprints by comparison of minutiae sets are readily adaptable to yield the requisite alignment information. Once the subject and reference prints are aligned, a the pattern matching process (24) may be utilized on all or a significant part of the captured skin ridge pattern. with improved accuracy and speed, since no positional scanning is required.
