Method and apparatus for matching streaked pattern image

摘要

A streaked pattern image matching method that matches a first streaked pattern image and a second streaked pattem image includes steps of: extracting data of skeleton pixels that indicate skeletons, which are lines obtained by thinning the streaks of each streaked pattern image; establishing correspondences between skeleton pixels by specifying pixels from among skeleton pixels of the second streaked pattern image that correspond to skeleton pixels of the first streaked pattern image; and, based on skeleton pixels of the first streaked pattern image for which the process of establishing correspondence has been carried out, rating the degree of matching between the first streaked pattern image and the second streaked pattern image and calculating a score that represents the degree of matching. <IMAGE>
