History and Development of Fingerprinting

A gradient-based combined method for the computation of fingerprints’ orientation field

“…Biometrics, which refers to identifying an individual based on his or her physiological or behavioral characteristics, is inherently more reliable and more capable in differentiating between an authorized person and a fraudulent imposter than traditional methods such as knowledge-based [password or personal identification number (PIN)] and token-based [passport or driver license]. Among all biometric traits, fingerprints have one of the highest levels of reliability [1] and have been extensively used by forensic experts in criminal investigations [2], so designing an automatic fingerprint identification system (AFIS) with high accuracy has very important significance.…”

Sectorization of Full Kekre’s Wavelet Transform for Feature extraction of Color Images

“…CBIR [2][3][4][5][6] is well known technology being used and being researched upon for the retrieval of images from the large image databases. CBIR has been proved to be very much needed technology to be researched on due to its applicability in various applications like face recognition, finger print recognition, pattern matching [7][8] [9], verification /validation of images etc.…”

Image Retrieval using DST and DST Wavelet Sectorization

“…Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) [1][2][3][4] is one of the evolving fields of image processing. CBIR needs to have the innovative algorithm to extract the perfect features to define identity of an image.…”
