RT Conference Proceedings T1 A first step to accelerating fingerprint matching based on deformable minutiae clustering A1 Romero, Luis F. A1 Tabik, Siham A1 Sánchez, Andrés Jesús A1 Medina Pérez, Miguel Angel A1 Herrera, Francisco K1 Identificación biométrica - Congresos K1 Dactiloscopia - Congresos AB Fingerprint recognition is one of the most used biometricmethods for authentication. The identification of a query fingerprint requiresmatching its minutiae against every minutiae of all the fingerprintsof the database. The state-of-the-art matching algorithms are costly, froma computational point of view, and inefficient on large datasets. In thiswork, we include faster methods to accelerating DMC (the most accuratefingerprint matching algorithm based only on minutiae). In particular,we translate into C++ the functions of the algorithm which represent themost costly tasks of the code; we create a library with the new code andwe link the library to the original C# code using a CLR Class Libraryproject by means of a C++/CLI Wrapper. Our solution re-implementscritical functions, e.g., the bit population count including a fast C++PopCount library and the use of the squared Euclidean distance for calculatingthe minutiae neighborhood. The experimental results show asignificant reduction of the execution time in the optimized functions ofthe matching algorithm. Finally, a novel approach to improve the matchingalgorithm, considering cache memory blocking and parallel data processing,is presented as future work.
