Constructing a fingerprint database is important to evaluate the performance of an automatic fingerprint recognition system. Because of the difficulty in collecting fingerprint samples, there are only few benchmark databases available. Moreover, various types of fingerprints should be required to get a fair assessment on how robust the system is against various environments. This paper presents a novel method that generates various fingerprint images automatically from only a few training samples by using the genetic algorithm. Fingerprint images generated by the proposed method include similar characteristics of those collected from the corresponding real environment. Experiments with real fingerprints verify the usefulness of the proposed method. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
