Abstract

So far some works dealing with information fusion for fingerprint verification have been presented. However, none of them explicitly investigated the use of multi-sensor fusion, that is, the integration of the information provided by multiple devices for capturing fingerprint images. In this paper, a multi-sensor fingerprint verification system, based on fusion of optical and capacitive sensors, is presented. Reported results show that such multi-sensor system can perform better than traditional fingerprint matchers based on single sensor.
