A robust method for partial deformed fingerprints verification using genetic algorithm

Fingerprint verification is a well-researched problem, and automatic fingerprint verification techniques have been successfully adapted to both civilian and forensic applications for many years. However, this technology suffers from the problem of handling incomplete prints and often discards any partial fingerprints obtained. Recent research has begun to delve into the problems of incomplete or partial fingerprints. Genetic algorithm is developed to improvement of deformed ridges and complex distortions in fingerprints verification system. In order to deal with low quality fingerprint images. Experimental results demonstrate the robustness of our algorithm to other methods. And results show that the speed is raised using this method in the overall of the most optimum. © 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
