Embodiment Construction

[0038] Exemplary systems and methods of this invention will be described with respect to image quality and segmentation. However, to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the present invention, well-known structures and devices, which are generally known or outlined, are shown in block diagram form from the following description. For purposes of explanation, numerous specific details were set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the invention. However, it should be understood that the invention may be practiced in various ways other than the specific details set forth herein.

[0039] Additionally, while the exemplary embodiments described herein show various components of the configured system, it should be appreciated that the various components of the system may be located in remote portions of a distributed network such as a LAN and / or the Internet or in a dedicated system. It will thus be appreciated that the components of the system may be combined into one or...

Abstract

A ridge flow based fingerprint image quality determination can be achieved independent of image resolution, can be processed in real-time and includes segmentation, such as fingertip segmentation, therefore providing image quality assessment for individual fingertips within a four finger flat, dual thumb, or whole hand image. A fingerprint quality module receives from one or more scan devices ridge-flow-containing imagery which can then be assessed for one or more of quality, handedness, historical information analysis and the assignment of bounding boxes.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority to US Patent Application Serial No. 60 / 795,215, entitled "Real Time Fingerprint Quality and Segmentation," filed April 26, 2006, which is incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0002] The present invention generally relates to quality identification and segmentation. More specifically, an exemplary aspect of the invention relates to the quality and segmentation of biometric image information, such as fingerprint, handprint or footprint image information. Background technique [0003] The instant scan device provides a preflight mode of operation that acts as a preflight to help the operator with finger orientation and image fidelity. Due to processing power, timing constraints, and bandwidth requirements, these devices and their associated quality metrics do not provide outputs that can be correlated with enrollment applications or other more complex quality measurements used by Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems...
