N2 - We show in this paper that the wavelet transform is an effective technique for significantly compressing fingerprint images, while retaining the necessary structural details for accurate identification. The paper presents a new algorithm for extracting the fundamental identification features for use in automated fingerprint matching systems. Contrary to existing algorithms, the method presented here is tested on compressed/decompressed fingerprint images. We show that using the compression algorithm proposed earlier by the author, we are able to obtain a valid description of the fingerprints at compression ratios down to 50:1.
