  1. 1. FINGERPRINT IMAGE ENHANCEMENT, SEGMENTATION AND MINUTIAE DETECTION

    Author : Josef Ström Bartunek; Ingvar Claesson; Blekinge Tekniska Högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; adaptive fingerprint image enhancement; fingerprint segmentation; gray-scale image normalization; minutiae features; neural networks; frequency analysis; kurtosis;

    Abstract : Prior to 1960's, the fingerprint analysis was carried out manually by human experts and for forensic purposes only. Automated fingerprint identification systems (AFIS) have been developed during the last 50 years. The success of AFIS resulted in that its use expanded beyond forensic applications and became common also in civilian applications. READ MORE

  2. 2. Improving fingerprint biometrics by local symmetry and fusion

    Author : Hartwig Fronthaler; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Alignment; Matching; Minutiae Extraction; Image Restoration; Multi-expert Fusion; Biometrics; Symmetry Features; Structure Tensor; Quality Assessment; Fingerprint Recognition; Image Pyramid; Enhancement; Rotational Symmetry; Cascaded Fusion; Monomodal Fusion; Fingerprint;

    Abstract : Fingerprint recognition and biometrics in general have been significantly gaining attention within the last years, not least due to the biometric passport that has been introduced all over Europe and the American immigration management system US-VISIT. The tasks of fingerprint recognition can be broken down to smaller entities, i.e. READ MORE

  3. 3. Symmetry Filters Applied to Fingerprints : Representation, Feature extraction and Registration

    Author : Kenneth Nilsson; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fingerprint recognition; symmetry filters; orientation field; multiscale filtering; singular points; orientation radiograms; registration; multiexpert; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : A common framework for feature extraction in fingerprints is proposed by use of certain symmetries. The proposal includes representation, filters, and filtering techniques for common features including minutiae points, singular points and the ridge and valley patterns. READ MORE

  4. 4. Compact orientation and frequency estimation with applications in biometrics : Biometrics on the orientation express

    Author : Anna Mikaelyan; Josef Bigun; Kenneth Nilsson; Raffaele Cappelli; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Automatic feature extraction still remains a relevant image and signal processing problem even tough both the field and technologies are developing rapidly. Images of low quality, where it is extremely difficult to reliably process image information automatically, are of special interest. READ MORE
