The invention relates to a method for collecting and splicing a fingerprint, which can support the rolling in any direction and is a method for identifying and processing a fingerprint picture. The method applies a fingerprint collecting system which is composed of a fingerprint collector, a computer and a fingerprint collecting and splicing program, and comprises the steps of starting the initialization of the fingerprint collecting and splicing program, initial collecting, formal collecting, determining a fingerprint area of a current frame, updating a spliced picture, determining a fingerprint area of the spliced picture, generating a picture with splicing effects and displaying the picture with splicing effects. The method adopts a picture splicing method with a background picture as a reference and eliminates the restriction of the rolling direction during a fingerprint collecting process by rolling so that a complete fingerprint splicing picture can be formed with a finger to roll on a fingerprint collecting surface in any direction. In addition, the method also applies the weighted average method to process edges of the fingerprint splicing picture to ensure that the spliced fingerprint picture can be more natural and smooth.
