We extract the features of the vein patterns for recognition. Then, the minutiae features included bifurcation points and ending points are extracted from these vein patterns. These feature points are used as a geometric representation of the vein patterns shape. Finally, the modified Hausdorff distance algorithm is provided to evaluate the identifica-tion ability among all possible relative positions of the vein patterns shape. This algorithm has been widely used for comparing point sets or edge maps since it does not require point cor-respondence. Experimental results show these minutiae feature points can be used to perform personal verification tasks as a geometric rep-resentation of the vein patterns shape. Fur-thermore, in this developed method. we can achieve robust image matching under different lighting conditions.展开更多

In this paper, we propose a minutia matching method based on line segment vector. This method uses all the detected minutiae （the ridge ending and the ridge bifurcation） in a fingerprint image to create a set of new vectors （line segment vector）. Using these vectors, we can determine a truer reference point more efficiently. In addition, this new minutiae vector can also increase the accuracy of the minutiae matching. By experiment on the public domain collections of fingerprint images fvc2004 DID set A and DB4 set A, the result shows that our algorithm can obtain an improved verification performance.展开更多

Fingerprint is necessary identification recognition of citizens. Fingerprint technology has become more popular and connected to human being life and come to replace traditional identification and verifying recognition today. The fingerprint will continue to substitute the ID of citizens as soon as possible in the future. Fingerprint refers to a complex of combination between gap of ridges and valleys on all of the fingertips. Clearer ridges quality is more convenient to analyze who you are and system can recognize your unique identity. Poorer ridges quality image is a significant problem that system has to improve and enhance the images quality before analyzing the results. Dry and wet ridges are the main issues that developers and researchers need to work on as it provides poor quality image. Medium ridge image is a good condition for analysis, but it also needs to be improved. Therefore, fingerprint images have to control the clearer quality and computing minutiae result and then comparing to templates, which stored in the database. The result will display if it is matched but it will not appear when that person has not yet registered. The paper proposed three algorithms to enhance image, extract minutiae and match with fingerprint templates. The first step, is used to enhance the image quality using brightness and Gabor filters on the fingerprint surface to make ridgelines darker. The second step is to extract minutia. It used to convert the images to binary (0 and 1) and process thinning image with Zhang Suen algorithms. Then, the pictures go through the fixing procedure to correct any missed links, error ridges or spurious minutiae that generated by fingerprint algorithms before they undergo final analysis, calculate location of minutiae and the total of the minutiae on the fingerprint surface. The last step is matching algorithms that can be proof of a person identity by comparing minutiae result with those in the database. If a person has already enrolled, the result will confirm.展开更多

It is difficult for today's techniques to deal with the images captured by the solid-state fingerprint sensors because the sampling area of these sensors is very small and only portion of the fingerprint can be obtained. In this paper, a novel integrated template has been built using several images and combining the minutiae with the texture characteristics at the same time. By using a kind of Gabor filters (eight directions) on the region around the reliable minutiae, local texture of each minutia termed as minutiacode is extracted. Further, a real-time matching algorithm using the integrated template is presented. The output is determined by the weight factor of the compound matching. Finally, experimental results show that this system performs well in reducing false reject rate (FRR).展开更多
