Influence of Skin Diseases on Fingerprints

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Biometrics under Biomedical Considerations

Part of the book series: Series in BioEngineering ((SERBIOENG))

Abstract

This chapter deals with fingerprint modality from a biomedical point of view. In particular, it considers the cases where a user’s fingers suffer from a dermatologic disease leading to damage of ridges. Such situations have a negative impact on both identification and verification processes.
