Pores have been used for fingerprint recognition for many years. Introducing pores into fingerprint image comparison can improve the recognition accuracy. This paper proposes a novel method to compare pores on high resolution fingerprint images. The method consists of three steps. In the first step, pores on different images are clustered using a Root-SIFT descriptor. Then the pores in the same class will be compared using a rotational invariant edge descriptor and Hough transform. The descriptor consists of three parts: the length of the edge, the angles between the edge and the orientations of pores, and the angle between the orientations of pores. In the final step, one-to-one correspondences of pores are established based on the matched edges, and then refined using the spatial relations of the pores. To this end, a graph based refinement algorithm is designed. Experimental results on two high resolution fingerprint image databases show that the proposed algorithm is more accurate than other state-of-the-art pore comparison algorithms.
