Abstrakt: As one kind of image having strong texture character, ridge distance is the important attribute of fingerprint image. It is important to estimate the ridge distance correctly for improving the performance of the automatic fingerprint identification system. The traditional Fourier transform spectral analysis method had the worse redundancy degree in estimating the ridge distance because it was based on the two-dimension discrete Fourier spectrum. The paper introduces the sampling theorem into the fingerprint image ridge distance estimation method, transforms the discrete spectrum into two-dimension continuous spectrum and obtains the ridge distance on the frequency field. The experimental results indicate that the ridge distance obtained from this method is more accurate and has improved the rate of accuracy of the automatic fingerprint identification system to a certain extent.
