<![CDATA[This paper describes a comparison study of the proposed fingerprint direct-access strategy using local-star-topology-based discriminator features, including internal comparison among different concerned configurations, and external comparison to the other strategies. Through careful minutiae-based feature extraction, hashing-based indexing-retrieval mechanism, variable-threshold-on-score-ratio-based candidate-list reduction technique, and hill-climbing learning process, this strategy was considered promising, as confirmed by the experiment results. For particular aspect of external accuracy comparison, this strategy outperformed the others over three public data sets, i.e. up to Penetration Rate (PR) 5%, it consistently gave lower Error Rate (ER). By taking sample at PR 5%, this strategy produced ER 4%, 10%, and 1% on FVC2000 DB2A, FVC2000 DB3A, and FVC2002 DB1A, respectively. Another perspective if accuracy performance was based on area under curve of graph ER and PR, this strategy neither is the best nor the worst strategy on FVC2000 DB2A and FVC2000 DB3A, while on FVC2002 DB1A it outperfomed the others and even it gave impressive results for index created by three impressions per finger (with or without NT) by ideal step down curve where PR equal to 1% can always be maintained for smaller ER.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v4i5.6589]]>
