This book thoroughly surveys and examines advances in fingerprint sensing devices and in algorithms for fingerprint image analysis and matching. After an opening chapter on the history of fingerprint recognition, it moves into new technologies for inkless sensors, fingerprint image analysis techniques and other areas aimed at fully automatic operation. The book also addresses large-scale fingerprint identification system design, as well as standards. «
