Image Quality Measures for Fingerprint Image Enhancement
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fingerprint image quality is an important factor in the performance of Automatic Fingerprint Identification Systems(AFIS). It is used to evaluate the system performance, assess enrollment acceptability, and evaluate fingerprint sensors. This paper presents a novel methodology for fingerprint image quality measurement. We propose limited ring-wedge spectral measure to estimate the global fingerprint image features, and inhomogeneity with directional contrast to estimate local fingerprint image features. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposal.
