Hough Transform for Distinctive Edge Detection to Images in Fingerprint Recognition Matching Transformation

Biometric Identification is a globally renowned procedure, which has been utilised to achieve a successful and accurate level of identification. In the sea of biometrics, fingerprints are deemed more popular when it comes to verification. This results from the presence of the ridges on the fingerprints that are completely exclusive to each individual. Besides that, fingerprints are expansively employed to ascertain and authenticate people individually. Therefore, this study had proposed to employ distinctive Edge Detection techniques together with the Hough Transform to match the images of the fingerprints in a fingerprint matching system. The Hough Transform is a superior procedure carried out to get an accurate series of finer points or lines. The finer points or lines would then distinguish the fingerprints. Nevertheless, it was still a challenge to extract finer points or lines from the fingerprints under uninhibited conditions. Therefore, this paper was organised based on four distinctive steps. First, different Edge Detection operators were employed to perform the fingerprint matching algorithm. Next, the fingerprint matching algorithm was applied twice to the same Edge Detection operators. Thirdly, the Edge Detection operators had been substituted with the Transformation Method for the same matching procedure. For example, the proposed fingerprint matching algorithm comprised of the Hough Transform and same Edge Detection operators. Finally, distinct Edge Detection operators based on the decision making algorithm were used to calculate and determine the percentage of matching. Therefore, this study proved that the prints obtained via the Prewitt Edge Detection together with Hough Transform were in an agreement.

Around-View-Monitoring-Based Automatic Parking System Using Parking Line Detection

This paper introduces an automatic parking method using an around view monitoring system. In this method, parking lines are extracted from the camera images, and a route to a targeted parking slot is created. The vehicle then tracks this route to park. The proposed method extracts lines from images using a line filter and a Hough transform, and it uses a convolutional neural network to robustly extract parking lines from the environment. In addition, a parking path consisting of curved and straight sections is created and used to control the vehicle. Perpendicular, angle, and parallel parking paths can be created; however, parking control is applied according to the shape of each parking slot. The results of our experiments confirm that the proposed method has an average offset of 10.3 cm and an average heading angle error of 0.94°.

Occluded iris classification and segmentation using self-customized artificial intelligence models and iterative randomized Hough transform

A fast and accurate iris recognition system is presented for noisy iris images, mainly the noises due to eye occlusion and from specular reflection. The proposed recognition system will adopt a self-customized support vector machine (SVM) and convolution neural network (CNN) classification models, where the models are built according to the iris texture GLCM and automated deep features datasets that are extracted exclusively from each subject individually. The image processing techniques used were optimized, whether the processing of iris region segmentation using iterative randomized Hough transform (IRHT), or the processing of the classification, where few significant features are considered, based on singular value decomposition (SVD) analysis, for testing the moving window matrix class if it is iris or non-iris. The iris segments matching techniques are optimized by extracting, first, the largest parallel-axis rectangle inscribed in the classified occluded-iris binary image, where its corresponding iris region is crosscorrelated with the same subject’s iris reference image for obtaining the most correlated iris segments in the two eye images. Finally, calculating the iriscode Hamming distance of the two most correlated segments to identify the subject’s unique iris pattern with high accuracy, security, and reliability.
