Abstract

The goal of this paper is to offer a joined approach in fingerprint orientation field estimation, integrating some of the most known techniques like ridge orientation estimation and image filtering, both tested using images from local and public databases. We propose a reliable orientation estimation algorithm [6] and anisotropic image filtering in this paper. To show the applied theory experimental results, we use Matlab for our implementation of the above algorithms. The investigation results showed robustness improving the correct estimation of the fingerprint ridge orientation process.
