Abstract
A biometric recognition apparatus and fingerprint feature extraction method can automatically optimize parameters used for extracting a feature template from a biometric image. The biometric recognition apparatus includes: a teacher data generation unit that generates a genuine pair and an imposter pair of first and second biometric images; a learning data generation unit that uses a plurality of different temporary parameters to extract feature templates from the first biometric image and the second biometric image; and an optimum solution determination unit that calculates a score separation degree on the temporary parameter basis based on a first score representing a similarity degree of a pair of the feature templates extracted from the genuine pair and a second score representing a similarity degree of a pair of the feature templates extracted from the imposter pair and determines the temporary parameter based on a level of the score separation degree.
