A processor implemented fingerprint verification method comprising: obtaining an input fingerprint image of a user; determining a plurality of matching regions by determining a matching region between the input fingerprint image and each one of a plurality of registered fingerprint images of the user using rotation information and translation information determined between the input fingerprint image and the corresponding registered fingerprint image, wherein the matching region refers to a fingerprint region, corresponding to both the input fingerprint image and the respective registered fingerprint image of the plurality of registered fingerprint images, where it is estimated that the input fingerprint image and the respective registered fingerprint image have a most similar fingerprint pattern; determining a plurality of similarities by determining a similarity corresponding to each one of the plurality of matching regions, representing a determined indication of similarities between the input fingerprint image and the respective registered fingerprint image; determining a matching region-based similarity based on the plurality of matching regions and the determined plurality of similarities, by relating the determined plurality of similarities to the corresponding plurality of matching regions as represented in the matching region-based similarity; determining a result of a verification of the input fingerprint image based on the matching region-based similarity; and indicating the result of the verification; characterized in that, determining whether a total size of the plurality of matching regions, each having similarities meeting a predetermined threshold value, meets a predetermined threshold size using the matching region-based similarity representing the plurality of matching regions with respect to the plurality of registered fingerprint images, and determining whether the verification of the input fingerprint image is successful based on a result of the determining of whether the total size meets the predetermined threshold size. obtaining an input fingerprint image of a user; determining a plurality of matching regions by determining a matching region between the input fingerprint image and each one of a plurality of registered fingerprint images of the user using rotation information and translation information determined between the input fingerprint image and the corresponding registered fingerprint image, wherein the matching region refers to a fingerprint region, corresponding to both the input fingerprint image and the respective registered fingerprint image of the plurality of registered fingerprint images, where it is estimated that the input fingerprint image and the respective registered fingerprint image have a most similar fingerprint pattern; determining a plurality of similarities by determining a similarity corresponding to each one of the plurality of matching regions, representing a determined indication of similarities between the input fingerprint image and the respective registered fingerprint image; determining a matching region-based similarity based on the plurality of matching regions and the determined plurality of similarities, by relating the determined plurality of similarities to the corresponding plurality of matching regions as represented in the matching region-based similarity; determining a result of a verification of the input fingerprint image based on the matching region-based similarity; and indicating the result of the verification; characterized in that, determining whether a total size of the plurality of matching regions, each having similarities meeting a predetermined threshold value, meets a predetermined threshold size using the matching region-based similarity representing the plurality of matching regions with respect to the plurality of registered fingerprint images, and determining whether the verification of the input fingerprint image is successful based on a result of the determining of whether the total size meets the predetermined threshold size.
