Fingerprint Image Postprocessing Using Windowing Technique
نویسندگان
چکیده
Performance of Automatic Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) is greatly affected by its matching rate, means it should have low False Acceptance Rate (FAR) and False Rejection Rate (FRR). Minutiae based fingerprint matching techniques are normally used for fingerprint matching. In this paper, we present a new technique for fingerprint image postprocessing. This postprocessing is used to eliminate a large number of false extracted minutiae from skeletonized fingerprint images. We propose a windowing postprocessing method that takes into account the neighborhood of each minutia within defined window and check for minutia validation and invalidation. The results are confirmed by visual inspections of validated minutiae of the FVC2004 reference fingerprint image database. Experimental results obtained by the proposed approach show efficient reduction of false minutiae.

Preprocessing and postprocessing for skeleton-based fingerprint minutiae extraction
In this paper, we propose to use the fingerprint valley instead of ridge for the binarization-thinning process to extract fingerprint minutiae. We first use several preprocessing steps on the binary image in order to eliminate the spurious lakes and dots, and to reduce the spurious islands, bridges, and spurs in the skeleton image. By removing all the bug pixels introduced at the thinning stage...
متن کاملFingerprint image: pre- and post-processing
Automatic Fingerprint Identification Systems (AFIS) are widely used for personal identification due to uniqueness of fingerprints. Minutiaebased fingerprint matching techniques are normally used for fingerprint matching. Fingerprint matching results and their accuracy depends on presence of valid minutiae. In this paper, we present a new technique for fingerprint image post-processing. This pos...
متن کاملEffective and efficient fingerprint image postprocessing
Minutiae extraction is a crucial step in an automatic fingerprint identification system. However, the presence of noise in poor-quality images causes a large number of extraction errors, including the dropping of true minutiae and production of false minutiae. A study on these errors reveals that postprocessing is effective in removing false minutiae while keeping true ones. Furthermore, the ov...
متن کاملSegmentation of Fingerprint Images
An important step in an automatic fingerprint recognition system is the segmentation of fingerprint images. The task of a fingerprint segmentation algorithm is to decide which part of the image belongs to the foreground, originating from the contact of a fingertip with the sensor, and which part to the background, which is the noisy area at the borders of the image. In this paper, an algorithm ...
متن کاملA Robust Strucutural Fingerprint Restoration
Fast and accurate ridge detection in fingerprints is essential to each AFIS (Automatic Fingerprint Identification System). Smudged furrows and cut ridges in the image of a finger print are major problems in any AFIS. This paper investigates a new online ridge detection method that reduces the complexity and costs associated with the fingerprint identification procedure. The noise in fingerprint...
