Abstract:
A ridge flow based fingerprint image quality determination can be achieved independent of image resolution, can be processed in real-time and includes segmentation, such as fingertip segmentation, therefore providing image quality assessment for individual fingertips within a four finger flat, dual thumb, or whole hand image. A fingerprint quality module receives from one or more scan devices ridge-flow-containing imagery which can then be assessed for one or more of quality, handedness, historical information analysis and the assignment of bounding boxes.

Claim (Index 1):
An image quality determination method for an input image of any resolution comprising:\n determining ridge flow for a received image; establishing a ridge flow array; and identifying one or more regions of the image.
