Abstract: Automatic fingerprint identification system is one of the important uses of biometrics,which refers to identifying an individual based on his or her physiological or behavioral characteristics.Fingerprint enhancement can improve the clarity of the ridge structures of input fingerprint image,and ensure the performance of the minutiae extraction and fingerprint matching.According to ant colony algorithm with clustering characteristics,a fingerprint image enhancement based on ant colony algorithm is proposed.This method can improve the quality for fingerprint image.

Key words: ant colony algorithm, fingerprint enhancement, fingerprint verification, clustering

摘要: 自动的指纹识别系统是基于生物特征的身份识别技术的重要组成部分。指纹增强技术可以有效地加强指纹的脊线特征,为指纹细节的提取和匹配奠定可靠的基础。依据蚁群算法的聚类特性,提出了一种基于蚁群算法的指纹增强方法,提高了指纹图像的质量。
