National Bureau of Standards, 1970 - Fingerprints - 31 pages
A procedure is described for determining whether two fingerprint impressions were made by the same finger.The procedure uses the x and y coordinates and the individual directions of the minutiae (ridge endings and bifurcations).The identity of two impressions is established by computing the density of clusters of points involving the differences in coordinates that are found in going from one of the fingerprint impression to the other.Experimental results using machine-read minutiae data are given along with results from a previously reported procedure that utilized constellations of minutiae in its matching process.(Author).
