Special Issue on Security for Network Society Detection and Recognition Technologies Fingerprint Identification By Kaoru UCHIDA* Biometrics technology, which uses physical or behavioral characteristics to identify users, has ABSTRACT come to attract increased attention as a means of reliable personal authentication that helps establish the identity of an actual user. Among various modalities of biometrics, fingerprints are known to have the longest history of actual use in law enforcement applications with proven performance. This paper surveys the state of the art in fingerprint identification technology. The current trend of fingerprint sensing and identification algorithms are presented first in detail in order to show how fingerprint-based systems work and then some topics with regard to fingerprint identification are discussed. These include actual examples of fingerprint-based personal identification systems, large-scale fingerprint identification systems (AFIS), interna- tional activities on standardization and performance evaluation, and a “Fingerprint User Interface” (FpUI), which is a new type of application of this technology used to enhance human-machine interactions.
