Inventor: TISSE CHRISTEL-LOIC
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2003-04-17
Abstract: To identify the direction of the furrows within an image, each pixel is checked to calculate a value taking account of the neighboring pixels in all directions. This takes account of an even number of pixels in each direction, in a scanning process.  The procedure provides identification of the orientation of the furrows in a digital or analogue image representing a fingerprint. For each pixel the process includes calculating a value taking account of the neighboring pixels in all directions, and scanning the image line by line in a bidirectional process. The orientation calculation takes into account an even number (L-1)/2 of pixels on either side of the current pixel, in a number of predetermined directions. It does not include calculation of the orientation for pixels around the perimeter of the image for (L-1)/2 pixels in height or in width. The process uses a bidirectional shift register circuit (Rj) authorizing loading words (Bij) into each register in parallel.
