Method for fingerprint classification Patent
Aboalsamh, Fahman Saeed, Muhammed Hussain, Hatim A. . 2016
The method for fingerprint classification uses a local gradient directional binary pattern (LGDBP) descriptor. The method acquires digital images of fingerprints from a scanner or the like, and the LGDBP descriptors corresponding to the directional ridge patterns are calculated. Using the LGDBP descriptors as a fingerprint representation, an extreme learning machine neural network with a radial basis function kernel may is used to reduce substantially the search space to a predefined number of classes of known fingerprints to be searched to identify the fingerprint.
he processing time during fingerprint recognition is a main problem when the fingerprint database is huge. Classifying fingerprints into subcategories is an effective way to restrict the search…
