A novel approach for feature extraction of fingerprint matching is proposed by using two-dimensional (2D) rotated wavelet filters (RWF). 2D RWF are used to capture the characterization of diagonally oriented information present in fingerprint image. Proposed method extracts the significant information from small area of fingerprint image. Experimental results conducted on standard database of Bologna University and FVC2002 indicate that the proposed method improves the genuine acceptance rate (GAR) from 92.14% to 96.12% and reduces false acceptance rate (FAR) from 25.2% to 21.2% on Bologna University database and it reduces FAR from 36.71% to 22.79% on FVC2002 database compared with discrete wavelet transform-based approach.
