Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, describe preferred embodiment of the present invention in detail.
Fig. 4 A is a structural drawing, schematically shows according to fingerprint recognition system 30 of the present invention.Compare with existing fingerprint recognition system 10 shown in Figure 1, fingerprint recognition system 30 also comprises brief data link table generating apparatus 32, fuzzy matching device 34 and similar fingerprint template memory storage 36 except comprising fingerprint acquisition device 12, image preprocess apparatus 14, feature point extraction device 16, fingerprint template generating apparatus 18, fingerprint template database 20, data link table generating apparatus 22 and accurate coalignment 22.In the present invention, gather fingerprint image at the scene, and the fingerprint image that collects is offered image preprocess apparatus 14 such as fingerprint acquisition devices such as sensor 12.14 pairs of fingerprint images of image preprocess apparatus carry out offering feature point extraction device 16 then and making feature point extraction such as pre-service such as trimming edge, figure image intensifying, lines refinements.Fingerprint template generating apparatus 18 generates a set of feature data for each unique point, and gathers the characteristic of all unique points on the fingerprint image, constitutes a fingerprint on site template (shown in Fig. 2 B-2C).
In the present invention, data link table generating apparatus 22 generates a fingerprint on site characteristic chained list (as shown in Figure 3A) according to the fingerprint on site template that fingerprint template generating apparatus 18 provides, and the fingerprint on site characteristic chained list that will generate provides fuzzy matching device 34.Fingerprint template database 20 offers brief data link table generating apparatus 32 with the fingerprint template of its storage, to generate brief database fingerprint characteristic chained list (seeing Fig. 5 A).The brief data link table of database fingerprint feature is made up of n * p element, and wherein n is the unique point number of database fingerprint template, 1≤p＜n.Linked list element N
I, jData structure identical with shown in Fig. 3 B.Briefly be that with the difference of brief data link table not not brief data link table has comprised all line elements of each unique point, and brief data link table has only comprised the part line element of each unique point.Though the columns p of brief data link table can get any integer less than n, the line element in the table also can be chosen arbitrarily, and shown in Fig. 5 A, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the brief data link table of database fingerprint feature is taken as the tabulation of n * 3.Corresponding each unique point N
i, only comprise three line element N
I, 1, N
I, 2With N
I, 3, the unique point of the line other end can be got respectively and be made unique point (i+1) mod (n), unique point (i+2) mod (n) and unique point (i+3) mod (n).
Brief data link table generating apparatus 32 offers fuzzy matching device 34 with the brief data link table of the database fingerprint feature that generated.In fuzzy matching device 34, each element in each element in the brief data link table of database fingerprint feature and the fingerprint on site characteristic chained list is compared one by one.If the length difference of a pair of element, is then further compared this angle characteristic and attributive character data to element smaller or equal to a length threshold.If the error of back two characteristics is all smaller or equal to corresponding threshold value, then similarity adds 1.If length difference greater than length threshold, then needn't be compared angle error and attribute error, directly keep similarity constant.After all elements comparison finishes, a total similarity and a predetermined value are compared.For example, predetermined value can be made as 8.If total similarity is less than this predetermined value, then corresponding fingerprint template is fallen in screening, and takes out next fingerprint template from fingerprint template database 20, repeats the process of above-mentioned fuzzy matching.If total similarity is more than or equal to predetermined value, then 34 instructions of fuzzy matching device deposit the corresponding database fingerprint template in the similar fingerprint template memory storage 36 in.
In similar fingerprint template memory storage 36, think that through fuzzy matching similar fingerprint template is by descending sort according to the size of its total similarity.Similar fingerprint template memory storage 36 allows the similar fingerprint template number of storage to preestablish on demand.Take all factors into consideration the needs of speed and precision two aspects, the storage number is advisable with 8-16.In the time will depositing a new similar fingerprint template in, the similar fingerprint template of similarity minimum will be squeezed.Therefore, after all fingerprint templates in the database all passed through fuzzy matching, similar fingerprint template memory storage 36 had just been stored 8-16 fingerprint template the most similar.Owing to store a considerable amount of similar fingerprint templates, so even discreteness makes the similarity of indivedual templates produce higher illusion, but can think and must comprise the coupling fingerprint template in these similar fingerprint templates.
Next, similar fingerprint template memory storage 36 offers data link table generating apparatus 22 one by one with the similar fingerprint template of its storage, to generate corresponding non-brief database fingerprint characteristic chained list.Subsequently, similar with prior art, accurately coalignment 24 judges to similar fingerprint template whether the fingerprint on site template mates to similar fingerprint template to similar fingerprint characteristic data chained list and scene according to on-the-spot.Because similar fingerprint template number is far smaller than the fingerprint template number of database, so accurately the time of coupling shortens greatly.
In a preferred embodiment, shown in Fig. 4 B, fuzzy matching device 34 can comprise binary tree coalignment 342 and collator 344.Collator 344 links to each other with data link table generating apparatus 22, is used to receive fingerprint on site characteristic chained list, and according to the length scale of linked list element each element of going in the chained list is sorted.Fig. 5 B shows fingerprint on site characteristic linked list data structure after sorted.If from left to right descending sort of length is so with regard to length data Xiang Eryan, M
I, j〉=M
I, j+1〉=M
I, j+2, 1≤i≤m.1≤j≤m-2。Binary tree coalignment 342 links to each other with collator 344 with brief data link table generating apparatus 32, is used to receive the brief data link table and the fingerprint on site characteristic chained list through sorting of database fingerprint feature.
Binary tree coalignment 342 is that each the row element group in each element in the brief data link table and the fingerprint on site characteristic chained list is compared.For example, get an element N in the brief data link table, with the element set M of delegation in itself and the fingerprint on site characteristic chained list
I, 1..., M
I, mComparison.When row element group during according to the descending sort of length data item, M
I, 1〉=M
I, 2〉=... 〉=M
I, n/2〉=... 〉=M
I, m-1〉=M
I, mAt first, with N and M
I, n/2Comparison is if its length difference, thinks then that two length of elements are similar smaller or equal to a length threshold.If length difference is greater than length threshold, and N＞M
I, n/2, then with N and M
I, n/4Comparison.If length difference is greater than length threshold, and N＜M
I, n/2, then with N and M
I, 3n/4Comparison.So repeatedly, until finding the similar element M of length
I, jThen, in this row element group, press M respectively
I, j-1, M
I, j-2... and M
I, j+1, M
I, j+1... order, get M
I, jAbout the element of two sides and brief data link table N comparison length data item.The dissimilar element of length that occurs first when the left side comparison is M
I, k, and the dissimilar element of the length that the right side comparison occurs first is M
I, k ＇The time, with N and M
I, k+1..., M
I, k ＇-1Comparison angle and attributive character data.When angle error and attribute error during all more than or equal to corresponding angle threshold value and attribute threshold value, similarity adds 1.When having one in angle error and the attribute error at least during greater than respective threshold, similarity is constant.Thus, can calculate N and i row element group M
I, j(1≤j≤the similarity of gained when m) comparing.With each element in the brief data link table each the row element group in the fingerprint on site characteristic chained list is carried out above-mentioned comparison, calculate the similarity of each row.Add up these the row similarities, just can obtain total similarity.
In another preferred embodiment, also above-mentioned binary tree matching process and chained list sequencer procedure can be used for accurate matching process, with the quick reference point of seeking out on-the-spot and database fingerprint template.
The course of work of fingerprint identification method of the present invention is described for example below in conjunction with Fig. 6 A-6C.Fingerprint identification method of the present invention can be divided into three phases.Phase one and prior art are basic identical, as shown in Figure 6A.In step 40, fingerprint acquisition device 12 is gathered fingerprint at the scene.Then, in step 42,14 pairs of fingerprint images that collect of image preprocess apparatus carry out pre-service.In step 44,16 pairs in feature point extraction device is through pretreated fingerprint image extract minutiae.In step 46, fingerprint template generating apparatus 18 generates a set of feature data for each unique point on the fingerprint image, and gathers the characteristic of all unique points, forms the fingerprint on site template.In step 48, data link table generating apparatus 22 generates fingerprint on site characteristic chained list according to the fingerprint on site template that is generated, and provides it to fuzzy matching device 34.
The subordinate phase of fingerprint identification method of the present invention also claims the fuzzy matching stage, it is equivalent to a prescreen process, by the fingerprint template in the database is carried out fuzzy matching, get rid of the template that is not complementary in a large number fast, filter out and comprise the coupling fingerprint template at interior a small amount of similar fingerprint template, for the accurate coupling of phase III creates conditions.Shown in Fig. 6 B, in step 50, each row element of 344 pairs of fingerprint on site characteristics of chained list collator chained list is by the length characteristic data sorting.In step 52, whether the fingerprint template in the judgment data storehouse has been compared finishes.If comparison finishes, process proceeds to Fig. 6 C.If no, then process proceeds to step 54.In step 54, brief data link table generating apparatus 32 is got a database fingerprint template, and generates corresponding brief data link table.In step 56, binary tree coalignment 342 usefulness binary tree matching methods compare its length characteristic data with each row element group of each element in the brief data link table and the fingerprint on site characteristic chained list through sorting, will compare error in length as the index of determining similarity.Specifically, only during smaller or equal to length threshold, just do the comparison of angle error and attribute error in error in length.If angle error and attribute error are smaller or equal to respective threshold, then similarity adds 1, otherwise similarity is constant.Yet,, directly keep similarity constant if error in length greater than length threshold, need not to compare angle error and attribute error again.Thus, calculate total similarity of two comparison templates.In step 58, a total similarity and a predetermined value are compared.If total similarity thinks then that more than or equal to this predetermined value the database fingerprint template of being compared is similar fingerprint template, process enters step 60.In step 60, the similar fingerprint template that obtains according to the big young pathbreaker of similarity inserts in the similar fingerprint template memory storage, and supplants the similar fingerprint template of similarity minimum.In step 62, database pointer is added 1.If judge similarity less than predetermined value in step 58, then process enters step 62, and database pointer is added 1.After step 62, process is returned step 52, takes off a database fingerprint template.
The phase III of fingerprint identification method of the present invention also claims accurate matching stage, and it is similar with prior art basically.Shown in Fig. 6 C,, judge whether similar fingerprint template in the similar fingerprint template memory storage has been compared to finish in step 70.If contrast does not finish, then in step 72, data link table generating apparatus 22 is got a similar fingerprint template, and generates corresponding database fingerprint characteristic data chained list (non-brief).In step 74, each each element in capable of each element and fingerprint on site characteristic chained list in each row of database fingerprint characteristic chained list is compared one by one, calculate in two paired element set each to the specification error between the element.Here, specification error comprises wire length error, angle error and attribute error.If each specification error is smaller or equal to corresponding threshold value, then this capable similarity to element set adds 1.Otherwise the row similarity is constant.Calculate the capable similarity of each paired element set thus.In step 76, each row similarity relatively, with that of row similarity maximum to the pairing a pair of unique point of element set as reference point.In step 78, the coordinate system of relative data storehouse fingerprint template carries out translation and rotation to the coordinate system of fingerprint on site template, makes the characteristic basically identical of reference point in two coordinate systems.In step 80, the characteristic of each unique point in comparison scene and the database fingerprint template.When four characteristic basically identicals of a pair of unique point, similarity adds 1.Calculate total similarity of two fingerprint templates thus.In step 82, judge that whether total similarity is more than or equal to a predetermined value.If think that then two comparison fingerprint templates mate, and confirm identity in step 84.If total similarity is less than predetermined value, then two templates do not match, and in step 86 similar fingerprint template pointer are added 1, and process is returned step 70, gets next similar fingerprint from similar fingerprint template memory storage 36.If in step 70, judge that similar fingerprint template in the similar fingerprint template memory storage 36 has been compared to finish, then there is not the coupling fingerprint template in the database of descriptions.
Though described the present invention by specific embodiment, those skilled in the art need not any creative work and promptly can do various changes and variation under the situation that does not break away from the spirit and scope of the present invention.The present invention attempts to cover all these changes and variation, as long as they drop in the limited range of appended claims and equivalence techniques scheme.
