Abstract  
This paper presents a simple and novel algorithm for minutiae matching in fingerprint images. After correct detection of all minutiae in two fingerprint images, the algorithm iteratively processes each minutiae point from two images and tries to find out the number of common points on the basis of structural similarity among them. We try to find all matching pairs of minutiae between two fingerprint images with reference to a pair of chosen reference point. Once all the common minutiae points identified, the matching score can be calculated using various existing formulas.
