Fingerprint region and table segmentation in fingerprint document

지문원지의 영역분할 및 도표 인식

In this paper, a method for extracting the fingerprint regions and the table from fingerprint document which is the size of A4 including ten fingerprints images in a table is presented. The extraction of each fingerprint region is carried out by segmenting the foreground fingerprint region using a block filtering method and detecting its center point. The table extraction, by detecting a horizontal line using line tracing, and detecting a vertical line by its orthogonal equation. Here, T-shaped mask is proposed for finding the starting points of the vertical line intersecting horizontal line by the form of 'T'. Experimental results show above 95% correct rate of extracting the fingerprint region and table.
