Abstract
The aim of this job is to study the process of self-organisation of the knowledge in a reactive autonomous agent that navigates throughout a fingerprint image. This fingerprint has been recorded using a low cost sensor, so it has with her a lot of noise. In this particular situation the usual methods of analysis of the minutiae fail or need a strong pre-processing of the image. Our system is a reactive agent that acts independently from the noise in the image because the process of self-organising of the knowledge carries to the emergency of the concept of “run toward the minutiae” through a categorisation of the sensorial input and a generalisation of the situation “state-action”. The system is based on hybrid architecture for the configuration recognition and the knowledge codifies.
