Abstract:Summary
From infancy to adulthood, human growth is anisotropic, much more along the proximal–distal axis (height) than along the medial–lateral axis (width), particularly at extremities. Detecting and modelling the rate of anisotropy in fingerprint growth facilitate the use of children's fingerprints for long‐term biometric identification. Using standard fingerprint scanners, anisotropic growth is highly overshadowed by the varying distortions created by each imprint, and it seems that this difficulty has hamp… Show more
“…From infancy to adulthood, fingertip growth is anisotropic, much more along the proximal–distal axis than along the medial–lateral axis. A growth model has been published by Markert et al [ 12 ]. It can help to compensate for growth and search prints in AFIS databases.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
