Abstract

This paper aims to examine the relationship between the directional characteristics and the quality for fingerprint image as preprocessing stage for adative image enchancement. In order to do that, we transformed the original images into directional images and set up the subimage size of 16, 32, 64 and the direction of 1, 2, 3, 4. Then we extracted the accumulated directional value as the measurement of quality for fingerprint images. By using the clustering algirthm, we performed an analytic experiemnt with the result. Finally, we could extract the optimal subimage size and directional characteristics of fingerprint image.

본 논문은 적응적 영상개선을 위한 전 단계로 자기상관함수를 이용한 지문 영상의 방향성 특성과 화질의 관계 분석에 관한것이다. 이를 위해서 원 영상을 방향 영상으로 변환한 실험영상을 대상으로 부 영역의 크기를 16, 32, 64, 방향성을 1, 2, 3, 4로 설정하고 화질의 척도인 방향성 누적값을 산출하였다. 또한 지문영상에 대한 화질 특성을 추출하고 최적의 부 영역과 방향성 관계를 정량적인 실험 자료로 제시하기위해 군집환 알고리즘을 이용한 분석 과정을 수행하였다.
