A review of schemes for fingerprint image quality computation
This is an incremental review for researchers in biometrics, summarizing and comparing existing methods without introducing new techniques.
The paper reviewed existing approaches for computing fingerprint image quality, which heavily affects fingerprint recognition systems, and found through testing on the MCYT database with 9000 images that most algorithms behave similarly.
Fingerprint image quality affects heavily the performance of fingerprint recognition systems. This paper reviews existing approaches for fingerprint image quality computation. We also implement, test and compare a selection of them using the MCYT database including 9000 fingerprint images. Experimental results show that most of the algorithms behave similarly.
