Liang, P
A new fingerprint image representation which captures both the local features such as minutiae and the global features such as overall ridge structure is presented. The basic tool is a set of oriented band pass filters which are parametrized by three parameters. We relate quantitative filter responses to the structural characteristics of the fingerprint ridges.

Fingerprint classification through self-organizing feature maps modified to treat uncertainties
Halıcı, Uğur (1996-10-01)
In this paper, a neural network structure based on Self Organizing Feature Maps (SOM) is proposed for fingerprint classification. In order to be able to deal with fingerprint images having distorted regions, the SOM learning and classification algorithms are modified. For this purpose, the concept of ''certainty'' is introduced and used in the modified algorithms. This fingerprint classifier together with a fingerprint identifier, constitute subsystems of an automated fingerprint identification system named...
Direct gray scale ridge reconstruction in fingerprint images
Domeniconi, C; Tarı, Zehra Sibel; Liang, P (1998-01-01)
An original technique, based on ridge point detection directly from gray scale fingerprint images, is proposed. Our method avoids serious problems that algorithms which perform binarization of fingerprint images have. Each step can be easily hardware implemented, allowing a relevant speed up of the whole process.
Wavelet domain image resolution enhancement
Temizel, Alptekin (2006-02-01)
A wavelet-domain image resolution enhancement algorithm which is based on the estimation of detail wavelet coefficients at high resolution scales is proposed. The method exploits wavelet coefficient correlation in a local neighbourhood sense and employs linear least-squares regression to estimate the unknown detail coefficients. Results show that the proposed method is considerably superior to conventional image interpolation techniques, both in objective and subjective terms, while it also compares favoura...
Similarity Ratio Based Adaptive Mahalanobis Distance Algorithm to Generate SAR Superpixels
AKYİLMAZ, Emre; Leloğlu, Uğur Murat (2017-01-01)
Superpixel algorithms are aimed to partition an image into multiple similar sized segments based on similarity and proximity of pixels. In the heterogeneous regions, the boundaries of the objects should adhere well to the superpixels, and in the homogeneous parts, the pixels should be clustered so that compact superpixels are generated. Since speckle noise inherently exists in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images their segmentation is considerably more difficult. In this article, the first contribution is ...
Improving edge detection using ıntersection consistency
Çiftçi, Serdar; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay; Kalkan, Sinan; Department of Computer Engineering (2011)
Edge detection is an important step in computer vision since edges are utilized by the successor visual processing stages including many tasks such as motion estimation, stereopsis, shape representation and matching, etc. In this study, we test whether a local consistency measure based on image orientation (which we call Intersection Consistency - IC), which was previously shown to improve detection of junctions, can be used for improving the quality of edge detection of seven different detectors; namely, C...
