A new method of fingerprint identification based on space invariant transforms and support vector machines is presented. The method uses the rotation, scale and translation invariant properties of the Fourier-Mellin transform to preprocess the fingerprint images. Afterward, with the results as the input properties, the automatically fingerprint identification is performed using support vector machines (SVM). The experimental results show that the method of fingerprint identification is effective and has high accuracy.
