Algorithm CSPN

Organization: Centre for Signal Processing, Nanyang Technological University (Singapore)

CSPN is a minutiae-based fingerprint verification algorithm that extracts minutiae by adaptive tracing the gray level ridges and matches minutia sets based on the minutia local and global structures. In addition, CSPN employs some unique techniques such as image segmentation adaptive to the image contrast and area, selective image processing, higher order statistics and ridge associated post-processing.

CSPN was developed mainly for portable stand-alone system where the algorithm speed and capability of recognizing partial fingerprints are emphasized for low cost processors and small fingerprint sensors. In addition, the algorithm is rotation and translation invariant. For more information please contact Dr. Xudong Jiang, email: exdjiang@ntu.edu.sg.
