Walking to singular points of fingerprints

作者：

Highlights：

• We propose a novel fast method for singular point detection.

• We can walk directly to singular points without scanning fingerprint images.

• Simplicity of the idea makes the algorithm easy to be implemented.

• Our algorithm can be combined with state-of-the-art method to improve performance.
