Fingerprint Thinning Compression Using MATLAB

Abstract:

Modified Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Tree with Run Length Encoding is a new framework proposed for fingerprint image compression. The Proposed method is better because more number of images related to the fingerprint image are retrieved. Experiments on an image database of grayscale bitmap images show that the proposed technique performs well in compression and decompression. We use Peak Signal to noise ratio and Mean Square Error [3] to compute the picture quality of fingerprint images.
