Review

From the reviews:

"...a useful reference for all biometric security professionals and researchers. The four coauthors have a distinguished combination of academic and professional experience....Overall, readers will be pleased with the style and substance of this book." -Computing Reviews

"This is a comprehensive reviews of its topic  . The thoroughness of the treatment of biometric methods is not obvious from the title. This feature will make the book particularly valuable in some robotics contexts.  The intended audience includes researchers, practicing engineers, and students  . The book is suggested as a reference book for a graduate course on biometrics. The material is clearly presented  . This will certainly be a standard reference work in its field." (Alex M. Andrew, Robotica, Vol. 22, 2004)

"The book is the first reference on automatic fingerprint recognition and provides an in-depth survey of the fingerprint state-of-the-art, presenting the most recent advances in fingerprints  . is ideally suited to researchers and students in biometrics, pattern recognition, forensics, image processing, and computer vision. In addition, it will be essential to developers of biometric solutions, biometric users  as well as to project managers and system integrators and administrators involved in the analysis, design, and management of finger-print-based biometric systems." (Computer Spectrum, Issue 4, 2003)



Product Description

With their proven individuality and stability over time, fingerprints continue to be the most widely used physiological characteristic in systems that automatically recognize a person's identity. This handbook on automatic fingerprint recognition provides in-depth coverage of the most recent advances and practices. Readers will find comprehensive and authoritative coverage of all the major concepts, topics, and security methods associated with fingerprint recognition systems. Coverage includes: sensing, feature extraction and matching, synthetic fingerprint image generation, indexing, and multimodal systems.

Features & Benefits:

* Covers the latest research in fingerprint-based recognition algorithms and techniques

* Provides introductory material on all components and modules of a fingerprint recognition system *Examines design of secure fingerprint systems

* Contains helpful chapter overviews and summaries and consistent notation, for ease of use and accessibility

* Includes a DVD containing both the FVC2002 and FVC2000 fingerprint databases (full versions) and a demo version of SFinGe software (for synthetic fingerprint image generation)

* Integrates numerous supporting graphs, tables, charts, and performance data

* Supplies an extensive annotated bibliography of citations and literature sources.

This comprehensive and authoritative reference, written by leading international researchers, covers all critical aspects of fingerprint security systems and technology. It is an absolutely essential resource for all biometric security professionals, researchers, practitioners, developers, and systems administrators.
