Recognition of persons by their fingerprints is rather ubiquitous: be it for unlocking smartphones, border control and for forensic applications, or for access to medical services, as for example in India. Challenges are manifold: handling bad quality, partial observations, tampered prints, distortions due to imprinting, as well as growth of children and juveniles. In this talk we discuss fingerprint features and statistical methods for their extraction, modeling, simulation, quality estimation and growth. Their foundations range from image analysis over shape analysis to complex analysis.
