ABSTRACT:
In a fingerprint image, this fingerprint matching method extracts as skeleton stability the area of a zone which is drawn around a pre-determined attention point and which does not contain any minutiae that are bifurcations or endpoints in ridges forming a fingerprint pattern, and calculates similarity by collating said skeleton stability thus extracted with skeleton stability already registered.
