Abstract
A fingerprint matching system for fingerprint matching using virtual minutiae includes a fingerprint scanning device, including (i) an interface to a fingerprint scanner, and (ii) a sensor associated with the fingerprint scanner, configured to identify a match between a search fingerprint representing a fingerprint of a subject and a reference fingerprint from among a plurality of reference fingerprints representing fingerprints of a plurality of historical subjects; a database containing the plurality of reference fingerprints representing fingerprints of the plurality of historical subjects; and a computing device in communication with said database and said fingerprint scanning device.
