Latent Fingerprint Enhancement and Segmentation Technique Based on Hybrid Edge Adaptive DTV Model

Image enhancement and segmentation is widely used for fingerprint identification and authorization in biometrics devices, criminal scene is most challenges due to low quality of fingerprint, the most significant efforts is to develop algorithm for latent fingerprint enhancement which become challenging problem due to the complex and existing problem for instance, developing algorithms of latent fingerprint is able to extract features of image blocks and removing overlapping and isolate the poor and noisy background. however, it’s still challenging and interested problem specifically latent fingerprint enhancement and segmentation. The aim study of this paper is to propose latent fingerprint enhancement and segmentation based on hybrid model and Chan-Vese method for segmentation, in order to reduce low image quality and increase the accuracy of fingerprint. The desired characteristics of intended technique are adaptive, effective and accurate, hybrid model of edge adaptive direction achieves accurate latent fingerprint enhancement and segmentation, the target needs to improve feature detection and performance, this research has proposed system architecture of research method in fingerprint enhancement and segmentation where is the method content two stages, the first is normalization and second is reconstruction, using EDTV model is required for adaptive noise, in addition Chan-vase technique contributed for identification of fingerprint image features, the result and testing using RMSE with three categories of fingerprint images good, bad and ugly show better performance for all three categories, as well RMSE shows the average of good latent fingerprint before and after enhancement.
