PREPROCESSING
An image may be defined as a two-dimensional function, f(x, y), where x and y are
spatial (plane) co-ordinates, and the amplitude of f at any pair of co-ordinates (x, y) is
called the intensity or gray level of the image at that point. When x, y and the amplitude
values of f are all finite, discrete quantities, then the image is a digital image.
The field of digital image processing refers to processing digital images by means
of a digital computer. The process of acquiring an image of the area containing the text,
pre-processing that image, extracting (segmenting) the individual characters, describing
the characters in a form suitable for computer processing, and recognizing those
individual characters are the scope of digital image processing.
Image Acquisition
Capturing visual data by an imaging sensor.
Discretization /
Convert data into discrete form, compress data for
Digitization,
Quantization, efficient storage or transmission.
Block Diagram
Fingerprint recognition is done when the input image is already stored in the
database or memory. First of all the input image is taken which is preprocessed by
different methods explain later, then the unique features are extracted which is useful part
in image identification. The simultaneous image processing is done from database and
finally the matching of these two patterns takes place and the decision will be taken that
whether the fingerprint is matched or not.
