Y. Petillot et al., FINGERPRINT RECOGNITION USING A PARTIALLY ROTATION-INVARIANT COMPOSITE FILTER IN A FLC JOINT TRANSFORM CORRELATOR, Optics communications, 126(4-6), 1996, pp. 213-219
We present the performance of a real-time optical joint transform corr
elator for fingerprint recognition. Particular attention is paid to ro
tation invariance which is one of the main problems of such systems. T
he correlator performance is also assessed for noisy images and the pr
eprocessing of the fingerprints is studied.
