PROPOSAL FOR DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPUTER-AIDED FINGERPRINT CODING METHOD WHICH WILL PERMIT LOCATING THE MATCH FOR A SINGLE LATENT PRINT IN A LARGE FINGERPRINT FILE.
Abstract
THE METHOD WILL INCREASE THE FEASIBILITY OF SEARCHING LARGE FILES BUT WILL NOT SUPPLANT THE TECHNIQUES NOW USED BY FINGERPRINT EXPERTS TO FINALLY VERIFY MATCHES. THE SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS OF THE PROJECT ARE OUTLINED.
