The invention discloses a partial
fingerprint identification method based on multistage
feature fusion, and relates to the field of
image processing and mode identification, and the method comprises the steps: carrying out the preprocessing of an input
fingerprint image, and obtaining a preprocessed
fingerprint image; based on the preprocessed
fingerprint image, first-level curvature features, second-level minutia features and third-level
ridge line shape features are extracted; retrieving and classifying the fingerprint
template library through the first-level curvature features to obtain a candidate fingerprint set; on the basis of the candidate fingerprint set, performing minutia point matching and
ridge line
shape matching through the second-level minutia point features and the third-level
ridge line shape features to obtain minutia point matching scores and ridge line
shape matching scores; and calculating a final matching
score in combination with adaptive weight fusion to obtain a fingerprint matching judgment result. According to the method, the efficiency and precision of partial fingerprint identification and the adaptability to images with different qualities are improved by fusing multi-level features such as curvature,
minutiae and ridge line shapes and adopting an
adaptive weighting strategy.
