The fingerprint is acquired from a fingerprint scanner. | ||
|
Image is improved (better contrast and distinctness). | ||
|
Noise and defects are eliminated. | ||
|
Fingerprint features are detected and analyzed. | ||
|
Minutiae are identified. | ||
| |||
|
Fingerprint search on database is made based on some measures; so polygons are determined connecting 3 minutiae. Thus, internal angles, sides and each minutia angle are computed. These measures are invariant to rotation and translation.
This method allows that a desired fingerprint can be localized on database even with position variation (displacement and rotation) in relation to the found fingerprint. |
