© 2016 IEEE. Fingerprint classification is an effective technique for reducing the candidate numbers of fingerprints in the stage of matching in automatic fingerprint identification system (AFIS). In recent years, deep learning is an emerging technology which has achieved great success in many fields, such as image processing, computer vision. In this paper, we have a preliminary attempt on the traditional fingerprint classification problem based on the new depth neural network method. For the four-class problem, only choosing orientation field as the classification feature, we achieve 91.4% accuracy using the stacked sparse autoencoders (SAE) with three hidden layers in the NIST-DB4 database. And then two classification probabilities are used for fuzzy classification which can effectively enhance the accuracy of classification. By only adjusting the probability threshold, we get the accuracy of classification is 96.1% (setting threshold is 0.85), 97.2% (setting threshold is 0.90) and 98.0% (setting threshold is 0.95) with a single layer SAE. Applying the fuzzy method, we obtain higher accuracy.
