For the low efficiency and high complexity of previous fingerprint matching algorithms, a fingerprint matching algorithm based on the fuzzy close-degree is proposed. It takes the turning point, bifurcation point, the number of ridge line between two points in the fingerprint image and so on as the feature of the object. The new algorithm can improve the accuracy of fingerprint matching. Finally, we point out that the performance of this new algorithm is slightly influenced by the environment factor in pratice, such as the shift and rotation of the fingerprint.
