Towards Secondary Fingerprint Classification
This manuscript proposes a move towards the secondary level of fingerprint classification. This is done in order to further penetrate a fingerprint template database, and further reduce it to smaller partitions for efficient execution of the database search procedure. This is done through taking advantage of the extensibility of a structural fingerprint classifier when used on slapped, as opposed to rolled, fingerprints. The said classifier first orders a fingerprint into one of four primary fingerprint classes and, thereafter, into one of eight secondary fingerprint classes. Evaluated on the CSIR-Yvits Fingerprint Database (CWFD), the primary classification module registers an accuracy figure of 80.4％, and the secondary classification module registers an accuracy figure of 76.8％. This small difference between the two figures is indicative of the validity of the proposed secondary classification module.
