Abstract

In some implementations, a computer-implemented method may include: identifying one or more neighboring minutiae within a particular octant neighborhood for the octant feature vector for each minutia included in a list of minutiae associated with a search fingerprint; computing, for each minutia included in the list of minutiae, a direction difference between each minutia included in the list of minutiae, and each of the one or more neighboring minutiae identified for the octant feature vector for each minutia included in the list of minutiae; computing, for each minutia included in the list of minutiae, a minutia quality confidence; and computing a fingerprint quality confidence.
