Fingerprint growth model for mitigating the ageing effect on children’s fingerprints matching

作者:

Highlights:

• Demonstration that the ageing effect is significantly higher on children’s fingerprints compared to those of adults, particularly for younger ages.

• Verification of the isotropic displacement of minutiae points.

• Development of the first general fingerprint growth model for children, derived from data measured from the actual displacement of minutiae points.

• Generation of new knowledge regarding the displacement of fingerprint minutiae during childhood and how it relates to the variation in height.

• Validation of the model both for the artificial growth and rejuvenation of fingerprints, showing increased performance with respect to previously proposed methods.
