Anthony CAZASNOVES has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11715324
    Abstract: A method for extracting a signature of a fingerprint shown on a source image is described. For this purpose, the source image is transformed into the frequency domain. One or more ridge frequencies are next determined by means of a convolutional neural network applied to said transformed image, n being an integer greater than or equal to 1. The source image is normalized in response to said n ridge frequencies determined. One or more signatures of said fingerprint are finally extracted from said n normalized images.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11380127
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of segmenting an input image representing at least one biometric trait, by means of a convolutional neural network, CNN, the method being characterized in that it comprises the implementation, by data processing means (21) of a client (2), of steps of (b) generating, by means of a first subnetwork of said CNN, referred to as a specialization block, a confidence mask associated with a ridge orientation map of the at least one biometric trait represented by said input image, referred to as a RFM mask; said RFM mask being applied to at least the input image so as to obtain a focused input image; (c) segmenting, by means of a second subnetwork of said CNN, referred to as a segmentation block, the focused input image.

  • Patent number: 11087106
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for extracting features of interest from a fingerprint represented by an input image, the method being characterized in that it comprises the implementation, by data processing means (21) of a client (2), of steps of: (a) Binarization of said input image by means of a convolutional neural network, CNN, in such a way as to generate an image called binary; (b) Processing said binary image so as to extract said features of interest from the fingerprint represented by said input image.
