    iteratively grown from an initial image which records the minutiae local pattern. This approach produces many obvious spurious minutiae in the reconstructed fingerprint, which can be easily detected. The fingerprint reconstruction (from minutiae) approach proposed by Feng et al. [4] takes advantage of the amplitude and frequency modulated (AM-FM) fingerprint model [6], in which the phase image is used to determine the ridges and minutiae. The phase image contains two parts: the continuous phase and

    authentication using connected neighbors of minutiae. The dynamic ROI extraction algorithm retrieves maximum possible features from the hand which is not possible with static ROI algorithm. The use of minutiae neighbor information in the proposed algorithm reduced the false matching of minutiae with imposter images (i.e. reduces FAR) and improved the performance (EER=1.2%) of the authentication system. The experimental results using minutiae neighbor information are promising and

  • Biometrics: Palm Print Recognition, Feature Extraction

    1548 Words  | 4 Pages

    system is widespread bio-metric authentication systems. A palm print is the feature pattern on the basis of their edges. Each person has his own palm prints with the permanent uniqueness. The common problem for palm print recognition is finding the minutiae by its local features and edges. Rotation and location invariant of the different palm prints images is also a major problem for recognizing the actual palm print image. There is need to overcome form these difficulties and to work over these areas

    There are many main characteristics of a fingerprint’s minutiae that allows fingerprint analysists to properly identify the fingerprint. Two of the most common characteristics are ridge ending and ridge bifurcation (Zaseir par 8-9). A ridge ending is a ridge that ends suddenly within the fingerprint. While a

    While considering the security biometric systems have many advantages over traditional authentication systems. As users do not need to remember passwords or no extra training is required like in password or PIN checking. In biometrics fingerprints are used at many places as they are more flexible as well as robust to use. Sometimes the system gets fails due to physical changes which may occur due to wrinkles. A. Use of fingerprint for authentication In this section importance of fingerprint for authenticating

    ridges, furrows, the minutiae points. Fingerprint is one of oldest and most popular recognition technique. Every individual possesses unique finger patterns, even twins has different patterns of rings and furrows. Fingerprint matching techniques are of three types: a. Minutiae-based techniques: In these minutiae points are finding and then mapped to their relative position on finger. There are some difficulties like if image is of low quality it is difficult to find minutiae points correctly also

    have a loop ridge pattern. To other figure prints, Alex Garcia’s and Lucy Leffingwell, were also identified as having a loop ridge pattern. The investigation then turned to identifying ten minutiae on all three fingerprints. It was then concluded that Alex Garcia’s figure print matched in ridge pattern and minutiae to the print found at the crime

    tasks: analysis, comparison, evaluation, and verification. When comparing the samples fingerprints, the comparison is done at multiple levels. The overall pattern and flow of the fingerprint ridges is level I detail (Gaensslen et al., 2008). The minutiae, level II detail, are compared from point to point on the fingerprint (2008). Level III detail involves the size and shape of ridge features and the shape, location, and relationships of the pores (2008). Before 1973, it was determined that a minimum

    The Benefits of Biometrics By definition Biometrics are automated methods of recognizing a person based on a physiological or behavioral characteristic (Campbell, 1995). More and more businesses are now using biometrics as a preferred measure over traditional methods involving passwords and PIN numbers for 2 reasons; The person being identified is required to be physically present at the point of identification; Identification based on biometrics techniques removes the need to remember a password

    It was a 92 degree fahrenheit morning at 9:45 on August 14th, when Doug Greene placed a call to 911. He informed the police that he was concerned because Anna had been seen wearing a sweater the previous day despite the unusual heat and wasn’t answering her calls or her door. Both the police and the EMT arrived at the crime scene at 9:56 am where they found Anna Garcia lying on the floor. They entered the crime scene and declared Anna dead. The crime scene was then secured at 10:20 am for investigation

    In her significant article on Tom McCarthy’s Remainder (2005) and Joseph O’Neill’s Netherland (2008), for the New York Review of Books, Zadie Smith praises Remainder’s adherence to its own principles of “minimalist narrative refusal” (Smith). She reports laughing out loud at the narrator of Remainder (whom she titles “the Re-enactor”) when after days of confinement in his reenactment space he gets “an urge to go and check up on the outside world [himself],” but has “Nothing much to report” (McCarthy

    Introduction The first time fingerprint comparison evidence was used in court against a defendant was in 1892 in Argentina [1] For purposes of forensic identification in cases of law enforcement and other areas where human identification is needed, fingerprints have been widely acclaimed to be of an invaluable importance and has therefore seen a close to unanimous acceptance as the gold standard of forensic evidence where biometric identity is concerned. Recently however, as was rarely done in times

    Ben Stiller, thoughtfully explores the timeless theme of identity: through Walter (played by Stiller), Stiller reminds that adversity is necessary in one’s life in order to bring about growth and change. Through the detailed presentation of the minutiae of Walter Mitty’s day, the viewer understands that he is a man stuck in a rut of existing rather than living. The film opens with images of Walter’s apartment: nothing out of place, nothing with colour, even Walter, himself, is dressed in black

  • The Sperm Whale's Head-Contrasted View

    644 Words  | 2 Pages

    Melville's detailed, though often scientifically erroneous, descriptions of cetacean anatomy demonstrate his preference for experiential, rather than learned, knowledge. This value is reflected in his use of story truth, where he hyperbolizes reality until it is intentionally difficult to distinguish fact from fiction. In a dramatic, action-filled tale like Moby-Dick, Melville chooses to dedicate a significant portion of his book to seemingly unrelated observations about whales. From Chapter 32's
