Fingerprint image enhancement: algorithm and performance evaluation
Lin Hong,Yifei Wan,Anil K. Jain +2 more
TL;DR: A fast fingerprint enhancement algorithm is presented, which can adaptively improve the clarity of ridge and valley structures of input fingerprint images based on the estimated local ridge orientation and frequency.
Journal ArticleDOI
On-line fingerprint verification
TL;DR: An improved version of the minutia extraction algorithm proposed by Ratha et al. (1995), which is much faster and more reliable, is implemented for extracting features from an input fingerprint image captured with an online inkless scanner and an alignment-based elastic matching algorithm has been developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
An identity-authentication system using fingerprints
TL;DR: The design and implementation of a prototype automatic identity-authentication system that uses fingerprints to authenticate the identity of an individual is described and an improved minutiae-extraction algorithm is developed that is faster and more accurate than the earlier algorithm.
Journal ArticleDOI
A real-time matching system for large fingerprint databases
TL;DR: The approach integrates a number of domain-specific high-level features such as pattern class and ridge density at higher levels of the search and incorporates elastic structural feature-based matching for indexing the database at the lowest level.
