Furthering Fingerprint-Based Authentication: Introducing the True-Neighbor Template

Abstract

This paper introduces the True-Neighbor Template (TNT), a novel, minutiae-only, fingerprint representation and matching approach for authentication. The TNT representation approach overcomes consistency-limitations affecting many existing approaches that stem from relative distortion and spurious minutiae. The TNT matching approach maximizes exploitation of captured fingerprint complexity. A standard benchmark experiment, using the FVC protocol and FVC2006 and FVC2002 databases, is used for evaluation. TNT demonstrates generally-superior neighbor-selection-consistency regarding several established approaches, including: fixed radius, k-nearest neighbors, fixed sectors, and Voronoi diagram. TNT demonstrates generally-superior authentication performance regarding several well-known approaches, including: Bozorth, K-plet, and Minutia Cylinder-Code (MCC).
