Abstract: This paper proposes a novel method, a Fuzzy Feature Match (FFM) based on a triangle feature set to match the fingernail. The fingernail is represented by the fuzzy feature set. The fuzzy features set similarity is used to analyze the similarity among fingerprints. Accordingly, a similarity vector pair is defined to illustrate the similarities between two fingernails. The FFM method shows the similarity vector pair to a normalized value which quantifies the overall image to image similarity. The algorithm has been evaluated with kaniyakumari district people’s fingernail database. Experimental results confirm that the proposed FFM based on the triangle feature set is a reliable and effective algorithm for fingernail matching.
