A Fingerprint Matching Algorithm Combining Minutiae with the Texture Feature

A new fingerprints joint matching method is presentd.This algorithm is based on fingerprint feature vector generated by texture information around minutia and minutia information.For the sake of reducing data process and improving matching speed,fingerprint texture is filtered and smoothed and texture direction information is extracted.The algorithm has a good effect in practical applications for the fast computation,high recognition and better recognition of drift and information deformity etc.with the worse quality of fingerprints.
