An important step in automatic fingerprint identification system (AFIS) is fingerprint matching. The task of fingerprint matching is to verify whether two fingerprints are coming from same finger. In this paper we detail and discuss the fingerprint matching algorithm. A minutia matching algorithm is proposed which modified the algorithm presented by Jain et al. In this algorithm, in order to reduce the effect of noise and false minutiae, block orientation and ridge information are introduced into the minutiae-based matching algorithm in a simple but reliable way. Ridge information which is some sampled points in the ridge are used to align two fingerprints, in order to avoid misalign two fingerprints, we use block orientation to correct the ridge alignment. Experiments on the database FVC2002 show the performance. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2004.
