In order to extract position and direction of the first joint line of a fingerprint for stable pattern positioning in fingerprint comparison, an apparatus for extracting fingerprint features comprises a vertical strip divider (11) for dividing digitized data of a fingerprint into data of a plurality of strips with straight lines parallel to a y direction; a projection calculator (12) for obtaining histograms, each of said his- tograms calculated by accumulating pixel values of each of said plural- ity of strips in an x direction perpendicular to said y direction; a valley candidate calculator (13) for detecting candidate valleys from said his- tograms, one of said histograms having a locally minimum value at each of said candidate valleys; and a valley information integrator (116) for calculating a position of a joint line of said fingerprint from positional information of said candidate valleys detected by said valley candidate calculator (13).
