Image enhancement and segmentation on simultaneous latent fingerprint detection

A simultaneous latent fingerprint (SLF) image consists of multi-print of individual fingerprints that is lifted from a surface, typically at the crime scenes. Due to the nature and the poor quality of latent fingerprint image, segmentation becomes an important and very challenging task. This thesis...

Computer science T Technology (General) A simultaneous latent fingerprint (SLF) image consists of multi-print of individual fingerprints that is lifted from a surface, typically at the crime scenes. Due to the nature and the poor quality of latent fingerprint image, segmentation becomes an important and very challenging task. This thesis presents an algorithm to segment individual fingerprints for SLF image. The algorithm aim to separate the fingerprint region of interest from image background, which identifies the distal phalanx portion of each finger that appears in SLF image. The algorithm utilizes ridge orientation and frequency features based on block-wise pixels. A combination of Gabor Filter and Fourier transform is implemented in the normalization stage. In the pre-processing stage, a modified version of Histogram equalization is proposed known as Alteration Histogram Equalization (AltHE). Sliding windows are applied to create bounding boxes in order to find out the distal phalanges region at the segmentation stage. To verify the capability of the proposed segmentation algorithm, the segmentation results is evaluated in two aspects: a comparison with the ground truth foreground and matching performance based on segmented region. The ground truth foreground refers to the manual mark up region of interest area. In order to evaluate the performance of this method, experiments are performed on the Indian Institute of Information Technology Database- Simultaneous Latent Fingerprint (IIITD-SLF). Using the proposed algorithm, the segmented images were supplied as the input image for the matching process via a state art of matcher, VeriFinger SDK. Segmentation of 240 images is performed and compared with manual segmentation methods. The results show that the proposed algorithm achieves a correct segmentation of 77.5% of the SLF images under test. 2015-04 Thesis NonPeerReviewed application/pdf en http://umpir.ump.edu.my/id/eprint/16374/1/Image%20enhancement%20and%20segmentation%20on%20simultaneous%20latent%20fingerprint%20detection-Table%20of%20contents-FSKKP-Rozita%20Mohd%20Yusof-CD%209896.pdf application/pdf en http://umpir.ump.edu.my/id/eprint/16374/2/Image%20enhancement%20and%20segmentation%20on%20simultaneous%20latent%20fingerprint%20detection-Abstract-FSKKP-Rozita%20Mohd%20Yusof-CD%209896.pdf application/pdf en http://umpir.ump.edu.my/id/eprint/16374/13/Image%20enhancement%20and%20segmentation%20on%20simultaneous%20latent%20fingerprint%20detection-References-FSKKP-Rozita%20Mohd%20Yusof-CD%209896.pdf Rozita, Mohd Yusof (2015) Image enhancement and segmentation on simultaneous latent fingerprint detection.
