Fingerprinting is one of the most used biometrics for people identification, it relays on image processing and classification algorithms. In this work we propose and test a framework that enables fingerprint detection using a set of image pre-processing algorithm. Concerning the features extraction, we propose the use of the number of bifurcations in image localities, and we propose the use of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for the classification. The performance of our framework is evaluated for three different activation functions and show that we can reach an accuracy of 81%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
