Figure 4.18 Schema of touchless fingerprint recognition systems.
touch-equivalent fingerprint images and identity comparison strategies based on
three-dimensional features have also been explored.
This section presents reported techniques for acquiring and processing touchless
fingerprint samples. The described techniques are divided into two classes: methods
based on two-dimensional and three-dimensional samples.
