Abstract
The purpose of this paper is the brief introduction of touchless fingerprint recognition and the assessment of interoperability between touchless and legacy rolled fingerprints for the wide use of touchless fingerprint recognition system. In order to assess the interoperability, the contrast and resolution of the touchless images are optimized firstly. And we perform the matching by using conventional minutiae-based matcher. Experimental results are promising that our touchless fingerprints have enough matching performance with equal error rate 7.9%. We can expect that our paper will make a significant contribution to the wide use of touchless fingerprint recognition and the increment of interoperability in the system integration between touchless-based and touch-based fingerprint systems.
