A Novel Model for Orientation Field of Fingerprints
نویسندگان
چکیده
As a global feature of fingerprint, orientation field is very important to automatic fingerprint identification system (AFIS). Establishing an accurate and concise model for orientation field will not only improve the performance of orientation estimation, but also make it feasible to apply orientation information into the matching process. In this paper, such a novel model for orientation field of fingerprint is proposed. We use a polynomial model to approximate the orientation field globally and a point-charge model at each singular point to improve the approximation locally. These two models are combined together by a weight function. Experimental results are provided to illustrate this combination model is more accurate and robust to noise compared with the previous works. Its applications are discussed at the end.

Analysis of Singular Points in Fingerprints based on Topological Structure and Orientation Field
As an important feature of fingerprints, singular points ( core and delta) not only represent the local ridge pattern characteristics, but also determine the topological structure (i.e. fingerprint type) and largely influence the orientation field. In this paper, we have performed analysis for singular points in two aspects: (1) based on the topology theory in 2D manifold, we deduced the relati...
متن کاملOn Latent Fingerprint Enhancement
Automatic feature extraction in latent fingerprints is a challenging problem due to poor quality of most latents, such as unclear ridge structures, overlapped lines and letters, and overlapped fingerprints. We proposed a latent fingerprint enhancement algorithm which requires manually marked region of interest (ROI) and singular points. The core of the proposed enhancement algorithm is a novel ...

متن کاملFingerprint Recognition System Based on Mapping Approach
Fingerprint identification system is mainly consisted of fingerprint achieving, fingerprint classification and fingerprint matching. Fingerprint matching is the key to the system and effects on the precision and efficiency of the whole system directly. Fingerprints are matched mainly based on their fingerprint texture pattern which can be described with the orientation field of fingerprints. A ...
متن کاملAn Improved Method for Fingerprints’ Singular Points Detection based on Orientation Field Partition
As a global feature of fingerprints, singular point plays important roles in fingerprint model, synthesis fingerprint, fingerprint classification, fingerprint alignment and so on. In our previous work, a rapid and effective fingerprint singular points detection method was proposed. That method detects singular points based on partitioning the orientation field into a serious non-overlapping hom...
