  • Fingerprint classification system and method using regular expression machines
    Patent number: 9971929
    Abstract: A fingerprint classification system and method for extracting the dominant singularity from a fingerprint image are described. The fingerprint classification system and method receive as an input a digital fingerprint image and the image is preprocessed to generate an enhanced and more accurate image. Feature pattern calculations are performed on the updated image to generate an Orientation Feature Vector. The Orientation Feature Vector is processed using a Regular Expression Machine classifier prediction model to generate a class label for the digital fingerprint image that was input.
    Type: Grant
