Latent fingerprints are important for identifying criminal suspects. However, recognizing a latent fingerprint in a collection of reference fingerprints remains a challenge. Most, if not all, of existing methods would extract representation features of each fingerprint independently and then compare the similarity of these representation features for recognition in a different process. Without the supervision of similarity for the feature extraction process, the extracted representation features are hard to optimally reflect the similarity of the two compared fingerprints which is the base for matching decision making. In this paper, we propose a new scheme that can model the pair-relationship of two fingerprints directly as the similarity feature for recognition. The pair-relationship is modeled by a hybrid deep network which can handle the difficulties of random sizes and corrupted areas of latent fingerprints. Experimental results on two databases show that the proposed method outperforms the state of the art.
