The extraction of “Level 2” detail — ridge terminations, ridge bifurcations, bridges etc. — from digitised images of fingerprints requires an accurate segmentation of the...
Oriented patterns, e.g. fingerprints, consist of smoothly
varying flow-like patterns, together with important singular
points (i.e. cores and deltas) where the orientation change...

: 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...
Fingerprint enhancement is a critical step in automatic fingerprint verification system. Most of the existing enhancement uses a set of contextual filters to enhance fingerprint. ...
—A critical step in automatic fingerprint matching is to automatically and reliably extract minutiae from the input fingerprint images. However, the performance of a minutiae ext...
