A B-Spline Function Based 3D Point Cloud Unwrapping Scheme for 3D Fingerprint Recognition and Identification

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2604.16546v1 Announce Type: new Three-dimensional (3D) fingerprint recognition and identification offer several advantages over traditional two-dimensional (2D) recognition systems. The contactless nature of 3D fingerprints enhances hygiene and security, reducing the risk of contamination and spoofing. In addition to surface ridge and valley patterns, 3D fingerprints capture depth, curvature, and shape information, enabling the development of precise and robust authentication systems. Despite recent advancements, significant challenges remain.
