Infant fingerprint recognition improved by age-specific recalibration

A new paper published on arXiv explores the challenges and potential solutions for infant fingerprint recognition. The research highlights how physiological characteristics unique to infants, such as involuntary motion and uneven pressure, degrade fingerprint quality compared to adult standards. To address this, the study evaluates ten fingerprint quality assessment methods on a longitudinal dataset and proposes a parameter tuning routine to recalibrate these methods for infant-specific features. Results indicate that tuned parameters significantly improve recognition accuracy and gallery selection, suggesting that domain-specific recalibration is key to reliable infant fingerprint identification.
