Enhanced Ridge Structure for Improving Fingerprint Image Quality Based on a Wavelet Domain

Enhanced Ridge Structure for Improving Fingerprint Image Quality Based on a Wavelet Domain Abstract Fingerprint image enhancement is one of the most crucial steps in an automated fingerprint identification system. In this paper, an effective algorithm for fingerprint image quality improvement is proposed. The algorithm consists of two stages. The first stage is decomposing the […]


Adaptive Anisotropic Diffusion Method for Polarimetric SAR Speckle Filtering

Adaptive Anisotropic Diffusion Method for Polarimetric SAR Speckle Filtering Abstract In this paper, we present an adaptive anisotropic diffusion (AD) method for the speckle filtering of polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) images. One of the main innovations of our work is that we employ a likelihood-ratio test method to measure the equality of two polarimetric […]
