Tangent direction computation in ridge line following of gray scale fingerprint images

Most Automatic Fingerprint Identification System (AfIS) is based on minutiae matching due to its uniqueness. Minutiae are essentially terminations and bifurcations of the ridge lines that constitute a fingerprint pattern. Maio and Maltoni (1997) proposed a method to detect minutiae in gray scale fin...
