ABSTRACT:
A digital fingerprint recognition method providing the steps of activating an image distortion software program on a computer, displaying a digital fingerprint image on a screen of the computer in a presentation environment for the image distortion software, and distorting the digital fingerprint image so as to correct a fault in the fingerprint detected on the digital fingerprint image. The computer system having a man/machine interface, a processing unit that is used to analyze a digital fingerprint image, coupler for accessing one or more files containing at least one digital fingerprint image and an image distortion software program that is used to display a digital fingerprint image on the man/machine interface and to distort the digital fingerprint image by the man/machine interface.
