Recursive Class Connectivity Classification (R3C) Applied to Binary Image Segmentation for Improved Infant Fingerprint Enhancement by Joao Leonardo Harres Dall Agnol, Luiz Fernando Puttow Southier, Jefferson Tales Oliva, Marcelo Teixeira, Rodrigo Minetto, Marcelo Filipak, Dalcimar Casanova, Erick Oliveira Rodrigues

“…Experiments conducted on three fingerprint datasets using four different enhancement classifiers show that R3C can increase the True Acceptance Rate (TAR) by up to 4% for children and over 40% for newborns, compared to using the enhancement methods alone. A qualitative analysis further demonstrates that R3C reconnects fragmented ridge patterns, improving the visual quality of segmentation. …”
