Solution Overview

Problem

Existing base image libraries for fingerprint sensors contain images with shading interference, leading to low identification accuracy due to incomplete shading interference detection, which fails to filter out all background-containing images.

Innovation Solution

A method to optimize the base image library by determining differences between base images, predicting shading interference, and deleting images with interference, ensuring only interference-free images are retained.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If shading interference detection is performed on base images, then base images with shading interference can be identified, but it is impossible to filter out all background-containing base images, resulting in base images with shading interference being stored in the library

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshading interference detection accuracyVSAvoidbase image library quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by calculating difference images between the first base image and multiple second base images before final determination. This preliminary comparison process reveals shading interference patterns that would not be detectable through single-image analysis, enabling more reliable filtering of background-containing images from the library.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces difference images as an intermediary element between the base images and the detection algorithm. These difference images serve as a mediator that highlights shading interference regions, allowing the system to identify and filter problematic base images more effectively without directly analyzing the complex original images.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Quantity of substance

If base images with shading interference are stored in the library, then the library maintains a larger collection of images, but fingerprint identification accuracy decreases due to incomplete correction

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebase image library sizeVSAvoidfingerprint identification accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes base images with shading interference from the library through the difference image comparison process. By identifying and excluding these problematic images, the system maintains a cleaner, more accurate library that improves fingerprint identification performance while still maintaining adequate library size through the retention of valid base images.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
