Abstract

We report on experiments for the fingerprint modality conducted during the First BioSe- cure Residential Workshop. Two reference systems for fingerprint verification have been tes- ted together with two additional non-reference systems. These systems follow different approaches of fingerprint processing and are discussed in detail. Fusion experiments invol- ving different combinations of the available systems are presented. The experimental results show that the best recognition strategy involves both minutiae-based and correlation-based measurements. Regarding the fusion experiments, the best relative improvement is obtained when fusing systems that are based on heterogeneous strategies for feature extraction and/or matching. The best combinations of two/three/four systems always include the best indivi- dual systems whereas the best verification performance is obtained when combining all the available systems.
