Abstract

A method for partial fingerprint recognition, the method comprising the steps of extracting features including ridge orientations, valley images, minutiae, and pores from at least two fingerprint fragments, aligning the fingerprint fragments, matching the pores and minutiae on the fingerprint fragments after applying estimated alignment transformation, calculating a final matching score based on a pore matching score and a minutiae matching score, identifying a person based on a result of the final matching score.
