Since the first use of fingerprints for identification over 100
years ago, the statement that "Every fingerprint is unique" has
become almost an article of faith. However this assertion has come
under scrutiny following several instances of mistakes in
identification by law enforcement agencies. Given two fingerprints
that appear to match, the question is how likely is it that this is
a chance resemblance between different fingers? It is necessary to
define what is a "match," and this in turn leads down the path of
deciding how to represent what the fingerprint examiners refer to
as the "finger ridge pattern." Two images of a print taken from the
same finger will never be identical at the pixel level, but the
analyst's task is to extract the essential features in order that
meaningful print comparisons may be made. This book presents some
important results on the spatial distribution of the features used
in identification, information that is required in determining the
"uniqueness" of an observed pattern. Ways of representing the
essential ridge pattern are discussed, including the fairly new
concept of specifying the pattern in terms of the phase of a
periodic wave train.
