7.1 Minutiae Matching
When all minutiae points of two fingerprint images are extracted in selected region of interest. Now, minutiae matching are performed for verification. Basically, minutiae
Matching is a process which completed in two steps:
1) Find Total Minutia Points: This step is used to calculate the total number of Ridge and
Bifurcation points separately. And it compares the calculated value with the original image values.
2) Find Location of Minutiae Points: It works on the basis of Minutia Marking process. Simply, when minutia points marked on the image it also store the location of the point. This stored information it used to compare two different images at verification process. If both the images belong to the same person then the location of ridge/bifurcation will match. Otherwise matching of fingerprint images unsuccessful.
