Fractal Analysis of Fingerprints

The approach to be developed is based on a global analysis of the fingerprints as opposed to the analysis minutiae. The global analysis, which is based on graphical method, yields a quantitative characterization of the fingerprint. Fractal-like patterns are representations of the global structure of the fingerprints and as each fingerprint has a different global structure, we expect each fingerprint to produce a unique fractal-like pattern. These studies have demonstrated that this approach is viable.
