BIOMETRIC FINGERPRINT RIDGES AND BIRFURCATIONS

[Joseph Mwema]

Hi ,

Good work you are doing with ImageJ. Congratulations are in order for
coming up with ImageJ.

I have questions I would like to ask you pertaining Biometric Fingerprint
ridges and birfucations.

1. How do you deal with noisy data e.g.  fingerprint samples? I am planing
to use ImageJ to get cordinates of ridges and birfurcations of fingerprints
so that I can generate encryption keys.
2. Would the distances be the same for an endpoint and a branch every time
the fingerprint image is captured again?

I am currently in my research year of my Masters in Computer Systems and I
am determined to use ImageJ for my project in biometrics. I will appreciate
any feedback or direction you point me to where ImageJ has been used in
biometric fingerprint projects.

Regards,

Joseph Mwema

Dear Joseph,

1. There is some macro code at: http://mycarta.wordpress.com/2011/12/14/an-example-of-forensic-image-processing-in-imagej/

2. According to http://www.ijcaonline.org/volume16/number6/pxc3872722.pdf " images from touch-based fingerprint systems are different from one acquisition to the other"

Best wishes

Kees
