Robust Point-Based Feature Fingerprint Segmentation Algorithm

Abstract: Abstract. A critical step in automatic fingerprint recognition is the accurate segmentation of fingerprint images. The objective of fingerprint segmentation is to decide which part of the images belongs to the foreground containing features for recognition and identification, and which part to the background with the noisy area around the boundary of the image. Unsupervised algorithms extract blockwise features. Supervised method usually first extracts point features like coherence, average gray level, varianc… Show more

“…Most existing AFRS utilize the minutiae (the endings and bifurcations of ridges, belonging to level-2 features) to recognize fingerprints and to identify persons [11][12][13][14]. However, as people's desire for higher security levels keeps increasing, it is highly necessary to base the recognition of fingerprints on more features, but not merely minutiae.…”

“…This scheme is applied to fingerprint images that are used by one of the most employed and widely deployed biometric systems. To extract the ROI of such images, known as ridges area, we modified the segmentation technique proposed by Wu et al [14]. The proposed scheme is used with the classical optimum, multiplicative watermark detection.…”

“…In this work, Harris corner point features method [14] is adopted to extract the ridges area of fingerprint images. The Harris corner detector is based on the local autocorrelation function of a signal; where the local autocorrelation function measures the local changes of the signal with patches shifted by a small amount in different directions [15].…”
