Selective review of fingerprint enhancement, classification and matching techniques

Abstract

Dry and wet fingerprint degrades the performance of fingerprint verification system, There are various issues in dry and wet fingerprint verification, like fingerprint skin quality, missing features and minimizing the matching efforts. Therefore, it is important for a dry and wet fingerprint recognition system to enhance, classify and match the fingerprint. In this work, we reviewed selective approaches for fingerprint enhancement, classification and matching.
