AFIS SDK

AFIS SDK

Helps developers to build an Automatic Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS).

Those systems can automatically detect several fingerprint features like: ridge pattern, core, deltas, ridge count and minutiae.

Auxiliary Images Examples

A 500 DPI version of the extracted image is useful because, regardless of the input image resolution, the minutiae extraction is always made on a 500 DPI image. International standards determined 500 DPI as the default resolution for fingerprint systems. As such, this resolution is used in fingerprint readers, fingerprint matchers and fingerprint compression algorithms. Fingerprint image 1
The quality map shows the background (black) and four levels of quality, showing where the ridges are more consistent and where the image have noise or lack of ridges information. Fingerprint image 2
The binary image shows the processed image after removal of the gray tones information. Good images provide a clear image of fingerprint ridges, in a binary image. Fingerprint image 2
The ridges direction map shows the average direction of ridges in a given point of the image. Fingerprint image 2
Finally, the ridges image shows the ridges detected by Griaule AFIS algorithm. Fingerprint image 2
