Outstanding biometrics technical book

As a teacher and part-time research professor in the field of biometrics, I can recommend this book to anyone interested in the technical aspects of digital fingerprint biometrics.
It is studded with references to the key papers in the field.
You will also find a chapter on security and spoofing issues, which reviews everything from gel methods for faking a fingerprint through coding, encryption and the possibility of intercepting code transmissions to a server.
The book comes with software on a CDROM, an artificial fingerprint generator. One of the chapters reviews this generator and discusses its performance relative to collections of real fingerprints -- in particular, it can be used to generate a large set of mutated prints of a "same" finger, something needed for an authentics distribution, that most biometric data sets lack.
Those interested in other biometrics (face, iris, hand shape, etc.) will find a brief discussion of these in the first chapter.
Warning: while most non-technical readers will find this a useful reference book, it does not hesitate to discuss in depth the mathematical statistics and software issues involved in fingerprint biometrics.

Excellent Handbook with amazingly well documented details

This is the best book on fingerprint recognition that I have read. This covers every aspect of fingerprint biometrics. Algorithms are provided with excellent analysis. Everything has exact references.

This was not just informative, but thorough. I well informed on Biometrics Identification. Nevertheless, this "handbook" informed me about processed developed recently that I have not seen before.

A good reference that I will keep on my desk for easy access.

Definitive in-depth state of the art book

"This book is intended for researchers, practicing engineers, and students who wish to understand and / or develop fingerprint-based recognition systems." So the introduction, and right they are. The authors have chosen a more informal style, but still give some of the Mathematics necessary. The references are extensive and ultimately the reader will have to go to them to make a contribution.

I would recommend buying this book with "Automatic Fingerprint Recognition Systems" by Ratha and Bolle (ed.) It would be hard for me to make a decision between these two books.

New 2009 Edition is Very Thorough

I have completed 2/3 of the book, and it is very thorough. I really appreciate it as a reference for the state of the art for fingerprint recognition. This book provides the mathematical formulae behind every method, and the author of each with date of origination. This is a book I will be pulling out for review, often. It covers every aspect of fingerprint analysis.

Excellent Book!!!!

There's a lot of good reviews about this book, so there's not much to add.

I'm working in this business and never before read a book as detailed and clear as this one about Fingerprint Recognition.

Excellent for the inquisitive and a lot to learn for those already with know how.
