An anisotropic interaction model for simulating fingerprints

Abstract: Evidence suggests that both the interaction of so-called Merkel cells and the epidermal stress distribution play an important role in the formation of fingerprint patterns during pregnancy. To model the formation of fingerprint patterns in a biologically meaningful way these patterns have to become stationary. For the creation of synthetic fingerprints it is also very desirable that rescaling the model parameters leads to rescaled distances between the stationary fingerprint ridges. Based on these observations… Show more

“…This summary is shown in Table 1. [17,36] we consider the unit square with periodic boundary conditions as the domain for our numerical simulations if not stated otherwise. The particle system (1.3) is solved by either the simple explicit Euler scheme or higher order methods such as the Runge-Kutta-Dormand-Prince method, all resulting in very similar simulation results.…”

“…Note that the time step has to be adjusted depending on the value of the cutoff radius R c . For efficient numerical simulation we consider cell lists as outlined in [36]. for different values of a s , b s is shown in Figure 4.…”

“…This stability result is important for understanding the robustness of patterns in applications such as, for instance, for fingerprint simulations. Based on the theoretical results in [4,6] we simulate fingerprints with variable ridge distances as steady states to the particle model (1) in [7]. However, as the number of particles N tends to infinity, the particle simulations of (1) become very inefficient.…”

“…Moreover, it is straight forward to include interaction with obstacles, which can be represented at fixed positions with artificial velocities. The approach is inspired by [11,16,30], where the formation of fingerprint patterns is studied with the help of an anisotropic force field. Further studies may consider the anisotropy parameter to be density or obstacle dependent.…”
