A Novel Fingerprint Enhancement Algorithm Using Curve Mask
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fingerprint image enhancement is an essential preprocessing step in fingerprint recognition applications. In this paper, a Separable Gabor filter with Bresenham (SGB) is introduced for fast fingerprint enhancement. A Curve Mask Gabor (CMG) is designed to improve the performance of SGB. Experiments are performed on FVC2004. Results indicate that the SGB can significantly reduce computational complexity, and the CMG is also faster than traditional 2-D Gabor enhancement. Moreover, the CMG can improve the enhancement performance of SGB, and obtain better enhanced images, especially in pattern and noisy areas.

Fingerprint enhancement
Fingerprint images vary in quality. In order to ensure that the performance of an automatic fingerprint identification system (AFIS) will be robust with respect to the quality of input fingerprint images, it is essential to incorporate a fingerprint enhancement module in the AFIS system. In this paper, we introduce a new fingerprint enhancement algorithm which decomposes the input fingerprint i...
متن کاملFingerprint enhancement using STFT analysis
Contrary to popular belief, despite decades of research in fingerprints, reliable fingerprint recognition is still an open problem. Extracting features out of poor quality prints is the most challenging problem faced in this area. This paper introduces a new approach for fingerprint enhancement based on short time Fourier transform (STFT) Analysis. STFT is a well-known technique in signal proce...
متن کاملA novel adaptive approach to fingerprint enhancement filter design
A novel procedure for fingerprint enhancement filter design is described. Fingerprints are best used as unique and invariant identifiers of individuals. Identification of fingerprint images is based on matching the features obtained from a query image against those stored in a database. Poor quality of fingerprint images makes serious problems in the performance of subsequent matching process. ...
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 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...
