Abstract One of the most important steps in recognizing fingerprint is accurate feature extraction of the input image. To enhance the accuracy of fingerprint recognition, an algorithm using fractional derivatives is proposed in this paper. The proposed algorithm uses the definitions of fractional derivatives Riemann-Liouville (R-L) and Grunwald-Letnikov (G-L) in two sections of direction estimation and image enhancement for the first time. Based on it, new mask of fractional derivative Gabor filter is calculated. The proposed fractional derivative-based method enhances the image quality. This method enhances the structure of ridges and grooves of fingerprint, using fractional derivatives. The efficiency of the proposed method is studied in images of FVC2004 (DB1, DB2, DB3 and DB4) database and the results are evaluated using the criteria including entropy, average gradient, and edge intensity. Also, performance of the proposed method is compared with other technical methods such as Gabor filter. Based on the obtained results from the tests, the method is able to enhance the quality of fingerprint images significantly.

Novel Approach

The performance of automatic fingerprint identification system (AFIS) is heavily determined by the quality of the input image, thus an effective method to enhance the fingerprint image is essential in such a system. In this paper, we combine the filter-based method, which is mostly used nowadays with wavelet transform to achieve a more reliable and effective approach to fingerprint enhancement. This novel approach consists of five main steps, namely: (1) normalization, (2) decomposition, (3) wavelet coefficient adjustment, (4) Gabor filtering, and (5) reconstruction. Using this new method, a more clear fingerprint image can be obtained, which can distinctly improve the accuracy of the minutiae extraction module and finally achieve a better performance of the entire system. Experiments have been conducted in our study and positive experimental results have been received, which show that the proposed combined method is more effective and robust than other existing methods such as the filter-based and direct gray-level approaches.

Fingerprint minutiae are prevalently used in fingerprint recognition systems. The extraction of fingerprint minutiae is heavily affected by the quality of fingerprint images. This leads to the incorporation of a fingerprint enhancement module in fingerprint recognition systems to make the system robust with respect to the quality of input fingerprint images. Most of existing enhancement methods suffer from two main kinds of defects: (1) time consuming and thus unusable in time critical applications; and (2) blocky and directional effects in the enhanced image. This paper proposes an improved fingerprint enhancement scheme based on the Gabor filter tuning its frequency to the average frequency of the input image and changing its shape from square to circle and dynamically adjusting the filter's size based on the average frequency. This scheme can enhance the fingerprint image rapidly and overcome the blocky and directional effects and does improve the performance of minutiae detection.

Enhancement Algorithm

Fingerprint enhancement is an essential preprocessing step and it is crucial for the efficiency of fingerprint recognition algorithm. We present an enhancement algorithm based on fast discrete curvelet transform (FDCT). First, implement positive transform on input image, namely decompose the image into coarse scales and fine scales coefficients. Then make use of a directional filter and a soft threshold function to enhance image and reduce noise respectively. Finally, implement inverse transform, and reconstruct the enhanced image. Experiments are carried out on FVC2004 databases. For bad quality fingerprints, the results indicate that the proposed algorithm has better enhancement and de-noising effect than traditional methods, and need less time.

Using multi-template processing algorithm, the fingerprint features are accurately collected. Through normalization, make the black and white point contrast of the fingerprint image more obviously, strengthen the ridge line texture. Direction calculating algorithm is based on the grey value of the neighborhood pixels. It can be implemented simply and speedily. Through direction filter, noises can be removed, and the contrast of the fingerprint’s ridge lines and valley lines can be enhanced. After binary converting, all information of the fingerprint is stored with 0 and 1. The effect of thinning is to make the fingerprint image more distinct to extract the fingerprint feature point easily. These steps had been implemented on Altera DE2 board with HDL codes. The experimental results indicate that the multi-template algorithm of fingerprint image processing is correct and practicable.

Fingerprint Image Enhancement

<p>Fingerprint image enhancement is the key process in IAFIS systems.  In order to reduce false identification ratio and to supply good fingerprint images to IAFIS systems for exact identification, fingerprint images are generally enhanced.  A filtering process tries to filter out the noise from the input image, and emphasize on low, high and directional spatial frequency components of an image.  This paper presents an experimental summary of enhancing fingerprint images using Gabor filters.  Frequency, width and window domain filter ranges are fixed. The orientation angle alone is modified by 0 radians, ,   and  radians. The experimental results show that Gabor filter enhances the fingerprint image in a better way than other filtering methods and extracts features. </p>

Fingerprint Segmentation

<span lang="EN-US">Nowadays, the fingerprint identification system is the most exploited sector of biometric. Fingerprint image segmentation is considered one of its first processing stage. Thus, this stage affects typically the feature extraction and matching process which leads to fingerprint recognition system with high accuracy. In this paper, three major steps are proposed. First, Soble and TopHat filtering method have been used to improve the quality of the fingerprint images. Then, for each local block in fingerprint image, an accurate separation of the foreground and background region is obtained by K-means clustering for combining 5-dimensional characteristics vector (variance, difference of mean, gradient coherence, ridge direction and energy spectrum). Additionally, in our approach, the local variance thresholding is used to reduce computing time for segmentation. Finally, we are combined to our system DBSCAN clustering which has been performed in order to overcome the drawbacks of K-means classification in fingerprint images segmentation. The proposed algorithm is tested on four different databases. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach is significantly efficacy against some recently published techniques in terms of separation between the ridge and non-ridge region.</span>

Finger Vein Recognition

Biometrics is the technology to identify a user by using the physiological or behavioral characteristics. Among the biometrics such as fingerprint, face, iris, and speaker recognition, finger-vein recognition has been widely used in various applications such as door access control, financial security, and user authentication of personal computer, due to its advantages such as small sized and low cost device, and difficulty of making fake vein image. Generally, a finger-vein system uses near-infrared (NIR) light illuminator and camera to acquire finger-vein images. However, it is difficult to obtain distinctive and clear finger-vein image due to skin scattering of illumination since the finger-vein exists inside of a finger. To solve these problems, we propose a new method of enhancing the quality of finger-vein image. This research is novel in the following three ways compared to previous works. First, the finger-vein lines of an input image are discriminated from the skin area by using local binarization, morphological operation, thinning and line tracing. Second, the direction of vein line is estimated based on the discriminated finger-vein line. And the thickness of finger-vein in an image is also estimated by considering both the discriminated finger-vein line and the corresponding position of finger-vein region in an original image. Third, the distinctiveness of finger-vein region in the original image is enhanced by applying an adaptive Gabor filter optimized to the measured direction and thickness of finger-vein area. Experimental results showed that the distinctiveness and consequent quality of finger-vein image are enhanced compared to that without the proposed method.
