A model for interpreting fingerprint topology

Abstract A simple mathematical model is developed which computes fingerprint local ridge orientation from core and delta positions. This model provides an intelligent tool for resolving ambiguities due to the periodic nature of orientation, in algorithms for interpreting fingerprint patterns.
