Abstract
A method of fingerprint verification includes capturing a fingerprint image by an image sensing device. The image sensing device including a pixel array of a combination of sensing pixels configured to capture minutia points in the fingerprint image and positioning pixels configured to provide positioning codes. The method further includes calculating vectors of the minutia points with reference to the positioning codes, comparing the vectors to reference vectors generated from a reference fingerprint image, and determining a match between the fingerprint image and the reference fingerprint image based on the comparing of the vectors.
