The invention relates to a
fingerprint feature construction method based on
minutiae, and belongs to the technical field of the automatic
fingerprint recognition. The method is used for obtaining minutia pairs in the
fingerprint matching process and includes the first step of preprocessing a
fingerprint image, the second step of establishing a right-angle coordinate
system called RCS and determining the directions of the coordinate
system, the third step of defining and finding the effectively
minutiae belonging to the RCS coordinate
system, and the fourth step of calculating the number of regression lines related to the effective
minutiae and conducting inspection. The method has the advantages that by means of the features, the features of the minutiae and the regression line information related to the minutiae are combined, and the reliability of the extracted features is improved; the directions of the coordinate system are determined, and the anti-rotation performance of the
algorithm can be effectively improved; the method for calculating the number of the regression lines is described in details and achieved, and the inspection shows that the calculation result is quite accurate; only the features of the minutiae belonging to the RCS coordinate system are extracted, the number of the extracted features of the minutiae is reduced, and the running efficiency of the
algorithm is improved.
