7.1 Conclusions

This book presented innovative multidisciplinary technologies for touchless fin-

gerprint recognition compatible with less-constrained scenarios compared with

traditional biometric systems. Their design and realization required a multidisci-

plinary approach involving optical acquisition systems, multiple-view geometry,

image processing, pattern recognition, computational intelligence, statistics, and

cryptography.

The studied technologies encompass all aspects of touchless biometric recogni-

tion systems based on two-dimensional and three-dimensional fingerprint samples,

including methods for acquiring ...
