It is based on the fact that a fingerprint image is composed of regular texture regions that can be successfully represented by co-occurrence matrices. So, we first extract the features based on certain characteristics of the cooccurrence matrix and then we use these features to train a neural network for classifying fingerprints into four common classes. The obtained results compared with the existing approaches demonstrate the superior performance of our proposed approach. }, journal = {International Journal of Computer and Information Engineering}, volume = {2}, number = {11}, year = {2008}, pages = {3689 - 3692}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/12492}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/23}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 23, 2008}, }
