Abstract

Fingerprints are the most used biometric information for identifying people. With the increase in fingerprint data, indexing techniques are essential to perform an efficient search. In this work, we devise a solution that applies traditional inverted index, widely used in textual information retrieval, for fingerprint search. For that, it first converts fingerprints to text documents using techniques, such as Minutia Cylinder-Code and Locality-Sensitive Hashing, and then indexes them in inverted files. In the experimental evaluation, our approach obtained 0.42% of error rate with 10% of penetration rate in the FVC2002 DB1a data set, surpassing some established methods.
