Print analysis
First Claim
1. A method for print analysis comprising:
- extracting a plurality of block segments from a subject print;
detecting a ridge line in each of said plurality of block segments;
assigning a first directional value to each of said plurality of block segments, said first directional value corresponding to an orientation position of said ridge line;
comparing each said first directional value with a corresponding second directional value of a template print to determine if a match exists between each block segment from said subject print and a corresponding block segment from said template print; and
affirming verification of said subject print if the number of block segments from said subject print that are determined to match said template print exceeds a predetermined value.

Abstract
A method for print analysis comprising extracting a plurality of block segments from a subject print, detecting a ridge line in each of said plurality of block segments, assigning a first directional value to each of said plurality of block segments, said first directional value corresponding to an orientation position of said ridge line, comparing each of said first directional values with a corresponding second directional value of a template print to determine if a match exists between each sample from said subject print and a corresponding sample from said template print, and affirming verification of said subject print if the number of block segments from said subject print that are determined to match said template print exceeds a predetermined value.

11. A system for print analysis comprising:
-
means for extracting a plurality of block segments from a subject print;
means for detecting a ridge line in each of said plurality of block segments;
means for assigning a first directional value to each of said plurality of block segments, said first directional value corresponding to an orientation position of said ridge line;
means for comparing each said first directional value with a corresponding second directional value of a template print to determine if a match exists between each sample from said subject print and a corresponding sample from said template print; and
means for affirming verification of said subject print if the number of block segments from said subject print that are determined to match said template print exceeds a predetermined value.

12. A computer program product comprising a computer useable medium having program logic stored thereon, wherein said program logic comprises machine readable code executable by a computer, wherein said machine readable code comprises instructions for:
-
extracting a plurality of block segments from a subject print;
detecting a ridge line in each of said plurality of block segments;
assigning a first directional value to each of said plurality of block segments, said first directional value corresponding to an orientation position of said ridge line;
comparing each said first directional value with a corresponding second directional value of a template print to determine if a match exists between each sample from said subject print and a corresponding sample from said template print; and
affirming verification of said subject print if the number of block segments from said subject print that are determined to match said template print exceeds a predetermined value. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
