As part of fingerprint image pre-processing, fingerprint image segmentation plays an irreplaceable role. This paper proposes a method based on the orientation field information combined with statistical characteristics of gray in order to realize the second segmentation of fingerprint image. Various experimental results show that the method proposed in this paper improves the effect of segmentation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
