Introduces a method for the generation of synthetic fingerprint images. Gabor-like space-variant filters are used for iteratively expanding an initially empty image containing just one or a few seeds. A directional image model, whose inputs are the number and location of the fingerprint cores and deltas, is used for tuning the filters according to the underlying ridge orientation. Very realistic fingerprint images are obtained after the final noising-and-rendering stage.
