The extraction of “Level 2” detail — ridge terminations, ridge bifurcations, bridges etc. — from digitised images of fingerprints requires an accurate segmentation of the...
Nowadays the AFIS (Automatic fingerprint Identification system) plays more and more important roles in various applications such as access control, ATM card verification and crimi...
A feature extraction method using the chaincode representation of fingerprint ridge contours is presented for use by Automatic Fingerprint Identification Systems. The representa...
: Fingerprint image enhancement is a common and critical step in fingerprint recognition systems. To enhance the images, most of the existing enhancement algorithms use filtering t...
Contrary to popular belief, despite decades of research in fingerprints, reliable fingerprint recognition is still an open problem. Extracting features out of poor quality print...
