  • Publication number: 20220343672
    Abstract: A fingerprint recognition device is provided. The fingerprint recognition device includes an image acquisition module acquiring a fingerprint image including an input fingerprint, a preprocessing module generating a preprocessed image by preprocessing the fingerprint image, a minutiae extraction module extracting coordinates of each of minutiae and orientation points of the input fingerprint from the preprocessed image and a fake detection module receiving regions-of-interest (ROIs), including the coordinates of each of the minutiae or orientation points of the input fingerprint, and determining whether the input fingerprint is a fake by performing learning using the received ROIs.

  • Patent number: 10317496
    Abstract: An MRI apparatus includes: a receive coil assembly including channels, and configured to receive an MR signal from an object; a data generator configured to generate undersampled image data on a k-space based on the MR signal; and a reconstructed image generator configured to generate a first reconstructed image from the undersampled image data using a parallel imaging method, and a second reconstructed image from the undersampled image data using compressed sensing. According to the MRI apparatus, since image reconstruction is performed using random undersampled image data, a parallel imaging method, and compressed sensing, it is possible to increase a speed of image acquisition and, at the same time, to improve the quality of images.
