In this paper, we introduce a novel low-complexity multilevel structural 21 June 2012 technique for fingerprint recognition by first decomposing a fingerprint image into Accepted 24 June 2012 regions based on only some of the global features and then formulating multilevel Available online 1 July 2012 feature vectors to represent the fingerprint by employing both the global and local Keywords: features. A fast multilevel matching algorithm based on the new fingerprint represen- Fingerprint recognition tation is proposed. In order to show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, extensive Fingerprint representation
