Biometrics is the automatic identification of an individual that is based on physiological or
behavioural characteristics. Due to its security-related applications and the current world …

Fingerprints have been an invaluable tool for law enforcement and forensics for over a
century, motivating research into automated fingerprint-based identification in the early …

It is commonly accepted that users of a biometric system may have differing degrees of
accuracy within the system. Some people may have trouble authenticating, while others may …

Some biometric systems perform well, and others perform poorly. This chapter examines in
detail the methods for establishing and reporting system accuracy. The manner in which a …

Abstract Support Vector Machines (SVMs) have received considerable attention from the
pattern recognition community in recent years. They have been successfully applied to many …

Goat, sheep, and lamb are labels for problem users of a biometric system. These user types
are defined in terms of their verification performance when matched against themselves …

This paper presents a novel approach to fingerprint alignment based on the optimization of
cost functions. The optimization is performed in two stages: the first stage provides a robust …

The majority of traditional research into automated fingerprint identification has focused on
algorithms using minutiae-based features. However, shortcomings of this approach are …
