Patent number: 11250239Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2020Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: AWARE, INC.Inventors: James M. Maurer, L. Scott Hills
