Fingerprint re-alignment: a solution based on the true fingerprint center point. IEEE International Conference on Machine Learning and Computing (ICMLC 2011), Singapore, 26-28 February 2011978-1-4244-925 3-4http://hdl.handle.net/10204/5314IEEE International Conference on Machine Learning and Computing (ICMLC 2011), Singapore, 26-28 February 2011Fingerprint re-alignment is an important aspect in the subject of fingerprint biometrics because a fingerprint that has been rotated, voluntarily or involuntarily, can have negative impact on the functionality of an automated fingerprint recognition system. A fingerprint recognition system that does not attempt to re-align an involuntarily rotated fingerprint can create opportunities for falsely rejecting a legitimate subject. It can also create opportunities for security attacks where an illegitimate subject voluntarily rotates their fingerprint, as a way of tempering with the functionality of the recognition system. This manuscript presents a new fingerprint re-alignment solution that uses the True Fingerprint Center Point (TFCP) as a reference, where the TFCP is introduced as the actual center of the fingerprint image foreground. Using the TFCP as a reference point proves – in general – to be fast, independent, and efficient for all types of fingerprints. It, in particular, is useful when dealing with the type of fingerprints that belong to the Plain Arch (PA) fingerprint class.enFingerprintsFingerprint recognition systemTrue Fingerprint Center PointFingerprint re-alignmentBiometricsPlain archICMLC 2011Conference PresentationMsiza, I., Leke-Betechuoh, B., & Malumedzha, T.
