This paper proposes a statistical model for fingerprint ridge orientations. The active fingerprint ridge orientation model (AFROM) iteratively deforms to fit the orientation fi...
Generative models of pattern individuality attempt to learn the distribution of observed quantitative features to determine the probability of two random patterns being the same. ...
Generative models of pattern individuality attempt to represent the distribution of observed quantitative features, e.g., by learning parameters from a database, and then use such...
— An orientation model provides an analytical means for describing fingerprint ridge orientations. It can help in data storage and recovery as well as other possible communicati...
Oriented patterns, e.g. fingerprints, consist of smoothly
varying flow-like patterns, together with important singular
points (i.e. cores and deltas) where the orientation change...
