    A survey of fingerprint classification Part II: experimental analysis and ensemble proposal
    (Elsevier, 2015) Galar Idoate, Mikel; Derrac, Joaquín; Peralta, Daniel; Triguero, Isaac; Paternain Dallo, Daniel; López Molina, Carlos; García, Salvador; Benítez, José Manuel; Pagola Barrio, Miguel; Barrenechea Tartas, Edurne; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Herrera, Francisco; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta Konputazioa
    In the first part of this paper we reviewed the fingerprint classification literature from two different perspectives: the feature extraction and the classifier learning. Aiming at answering the question of which among the reviewed methods would perform better in a real implementation we end up in a discussion which showed the difficulty in answering this question. No previous comparison exists in the literature and comparisons among papers are done with different experimental frameworks. Moreover, the difficulty in implementing published methods was stated due to the lack of details in their description, parameters and the fact that no source code is shared. For this reason, in this paper we will go through a deep experimental study following the proposed double perspective. In order to do so, we have carefully implemented some of the most relevant feature extraction methods according to the explanations found in the corresponding papers and we have tested their performance with different classifiers, including those specific proposals made by the authors. Our aim is to develop an objective experimental study in a common framework, which has not been done before and which can serve as a baseline for future works on the topic. This way, we will not only test their quality, but their reusability by other researchers and will be able to indicate which proposals could be considered for future developments. Furthermore, we will show that combining different feature extraction models in an ensemble can lead to a superior performance, significantly increasing the results obtained by individual models.

    Extensions of fuzzy sets in image processing: an overview
    (EUSFLAT, 2011) Pagola Barrio, Miguel; Barrenechea Tartas, Edurne; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Fernández Fernández, Francisco Javier; Galar Idoate, Mikel; Jurío Munárriz, Aránzazu; López Molina, Carlos; Paternain Dallo, Daniel; Sanz Delgado, José Antonio; Couto, P.; Melo Pinto, P.; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta Konputazioa
    This work presents a valuable review for the interested reader of the recent Works using extensions of fuzzy sets in image processing. The chapter is divided as follows: first we recall the basics of the extensions of fuzzy sets, i.e. Type 2 fuzzy sets, interval-valued fuzzy sets and Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy sets. In sequent sections we review the methods proposed for noise removal (sections 3), image enhancement (section 4), edge detection (section 5) and segmentation (section 6). There exist other image segmentation tasks such as video de-interlacing, stereo matching or object representation that are not described in this work.

    A survey of fingerprint classification Part I: taxonomies on feature extraction methods and learning models
    (Elsevier, 2015) Galar Idoate, Mikel; Derrac, Joaquín; Peralta, Daniel; Triguero, Isaac; Paternain Dallo, Daniel; López Molina, Carlos; García, Salvador; Benítez, José Manuel; Pagola Barrio, Miguel; Barrenechea Tartas, Edurne; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Herrera, Francisco; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta Konputazioa
    This paper reviews the fingerprint classification literature looking at the problem from a double perspective. We first deal with feature extraction methods, including the different models considered for singular point detection and for orientation map extraction. Then, we focus on the different learning models considered to build the classifiers used to label new fingerprints. Taxonomies and classifications for the feature extraction, singular point detection, orientation extraction and learning methods are presented. A critical view of the existing literature have led us to present a discussion on the existing methods and their drawbacks such as difficulty in their reimplementation, lack of details or major differences in their evaluations procedures. On this account, an experimental analysis of the most relevant methods is carried out in the second part of this paper, and a new method based on their combination is presented.

    A framework for radial data comparison and its application to fingerprint analysis
    (Elsevier, 2016) Marco Detchart, Cedric; Cerrón González, Juan; Miguel Turullols, Laura de; López Molina, Carlos; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Galar Idoate, Mikel; Automatika eta Konputazioa; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Automática y Computación; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
    This work tackles the comparison of radial data, and proposes comparison measures that are further applied to fingerprint analysis. First, we study the similarity of scalar and non-scalar radial data, elaborated on previous works in fuzzy set theory. This study leads to the concepts of restricted radial equivalence function and Radial Similarity Measure, which model the perceived similarity between scalar and vectorial pieces of radial data, respectively. Second, the utility of these functions is tested in the context of fingerprint analysis, and more specifically, in the singular point detection. With this aim, a novel Template-based Singular Point Detection method is proposed, which takes advantage of these functions. Finally, their suitability is tested in different fingerprint databases. Different Similarity Measures are considered to show the flexibility offered by these measures and the behaviour of the new method is compared with well-known singular point detection methods.

    Aggregation functions to combine RGB color channels in stereo matching
    (Optical Society of America, 2013) Galar Idoate, Mikel; Jurío Munárriz, Aránzazu; López Molina, Carlos; Sanz Delgado, José Antonio; Paternain Dallo, Daniel; Bustince Sola, Humberto; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta Konputazioa; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
    In this paper we present a comparison study between different aggregation functions for the combination of RGB color channels in stereo matching problem. We introduce color information from images to the stereo matching algorithm by aggregating the similarities of the RGB channels which are calculated independently. We compare the accuracy of different stereo matching algorithms and aggregation functions. We show experimentally that the best function depends on the stereo matching algorithm considered, but the dual of the geometric mean excels as the most robust aggregation.
