A method and
system for
fingerprint template synthesis from multiple
fingerprint images is provided. A first set of
minutiae points is extracted from a first
fingerprint image. A second set of
minutiae points is extracted from a second
fingerprint image. The orientation is calculated for a plurality of
minutiae points selected from the first set of minutiae points based on the first
fingerprint image. Simulated points are added to the first set of minutiae points, wherein simulated points are created based on the location and orientation of minutiae points in the plurality of minutiae points. The first set of minutiae points and the second set of minutiae points are registered and the first set of minutiae points and the second set of minutiae points are combined.
