A algorithm of fingerprint classification based on wavelet
A novel algorithm for fingerprint classification is present. Firstly, denoise and enhance the fingerprint image with wavelet technology .Thus we can do Ridge Detection and Minutiae Detection well. The flowchart of the minutiae extraction algorithm,the flowchart of fingerprint classification algorithm and experiment result of our classification algorithm on the NIST- 4 database are presented. The results of our test show the superior performance of the fingerprint classification technology based on wavelet and the great potential in the fingerprint verification.
