Abstract:
Simultaneous latent fingerprints are a cluster of latent fingerprints that are concurrently deposited by the
same person. Though ACE-V methodology provides the scientific basis for matching latent fingerprints,
extending it for simultaneous latent fingerprints is challenging. Further, there is a lack of automated
or semi-automated algorithms to aid this process. The contribution of this paper is two-fold: (i) an
automated two-level fusion technique for fusing evidences from multiple ridge impressions, and (ii)
a simultaneous latent fingerprint database is created to drive research in this problem. The proposed
algorithm yields promising results on the simultaneous latent fingerprint database.
