Abstract

Disclosed is a method and apparatus to provide for fingerprint minutiae matching using scoring techniques. A plurality of minutiae in a fingerprint image is defined. A score associated with each minutia corresponding to the validity of each minutia is estimated. The fingerprint image is then matched against one or more sample fingerprint images utilizing a partial point set pattern matching (PSPM) algorithm.
