Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for optically eliminating parallax distortion in an image including a method and apparatus for processing skin pattern images representative of a palm print .
  • Parallax in optics describes the situation when the apparent relative orientation of objects changes when the position from which the objects are viewed changes.
  • Parallax causes a condition generally known as keystone distortion, which describes the situation in which different portions of an image appear disproportionate.
  • Parallax distortion must be addressed when capturing an image with a prism.
  • Apparatus which capture images with a prism include finger print capturing apparatus.
  • United States Patent No. 4,933,976 discloses a method for generating data characteristic of a rolled finger print in real time. The method includes the steps of storing arrays of digital data characteristic of a fingerprint and generating a composite array of digital data characteristic of a rolled fingerprint image.
  • the device of United States Patent No. 4,933,976 includes a prism, which utilizes the principle of total internal reflection to capture the image of a fingerprint, a video camera, a frame digitizer and a processor.
  • United States Patent No. 5,230,025 also discloses a method for generating data characteristic of a rolled fingerprint. The device of United States Patent No.
  • 5,230,025 also includes a prism, which utilizes the principle of total internal reflection to capture the image of a fingerprint, a video camera, a frame digitizer and a processor.
  • the method of United States Patent No. 5,230,025 includes the steps of continuously recording images as a finger rolls across the prism and converting those images into digital signals.
  • Both United States Patent Nos. 4,933,976 and 5,230,025 utilize CCD arrays to capture a pattern of light reflected through the prism when the finger is placed upon a surface of the prism.
  • the CCD array of both United States Patent Nos. 4,933,976 and 5,230,025 are two dimensional CCD arrays, for example, 768 x 960 array. Through the use of a lens and mirrors, the image of the fingerprint is focused onto the CCD array so that the image of the fingerprint may be captured.
  • a palm print is desirable because, for example, it includes approximately 17 times the data contained on a fingerprint. Also, palm prints are often left at crime scenes . Some countries, including Saudi Arabia, regularly take a palm print when processing an individual who has been arrested. The methods currently employed in Saudi Arabia and other foreign countries, include the use of ink and are difficult to administer. The greater volume of data associated with the palm is beneficial in categorizing individuals and comparing different palm print images to determine whether there is a match. In fact, it is estimated that up to one-third of all criminal identifications are made in part on the basis of a palm print.
  • the CCD arrays and lens of both United States Patent Nos. 4,933,976 and 5,230,025 have an associated resolution sufficient to provide detailed images of the patterns of the fingerprint.
  • the CCD arrays associated with the devices of the prior art are capable only of providing the desired resolution for a fixed surface area of the prism. This fixed surface area is approximately four times the size of an ordinary fingerprint.
  • Significant problems are presented in merely increasing the size of the prisms and the other equipment disclosed in United States Patent Nos . 4,933,976 or 5,230,025 in order to capture the image of a palm print. These problems are related to parallax distortion, resolution, and lighting.
  • keystone distortion describes the condition when the top of a image is disproportionately narrower or wider than the bottom portion of an image. Keystone distortion is directly related to parallax.
  • Parallax distortion is created because the object, in this case one surface of the prism, is slanted relative to the other surfaces. Because of the slant, the image focused through the lens will also be slanted.
  • the slanted image can be focused onto a vertical CCD array (i.e., one that is not slanted) if the depth of field associated with the lens the image is being focused through is great enough.
  • Depth of field describes the distance toward and away from the focal point of the lens in which clear focus is available. It is well known that depth of field is a function of the f-stop, or the size of the aperture of the lens. As the f-stop increases, that is as the aperture becomes smaller, the depth of field becomes greater. Similarly, as the f-stop decreases the depth of field becomes less. Additionally, as the f-stop increases so does the amount of light necessary to properly expose the CCD.
  • Elimination of parallax distortion and providing adequate resolution are critical for optical systems which capture fingerprints. For example, if the fingerprint image is keystoned, it is skewed with respect to fingerprints it is being compared against. The skew makes it almost impossible to compare the two images. Additionally, if the resolution is too low, the image will be smudged, which is also virtually useless in comparing fingerprints.
  • Parallax distortion can be solved either optically, or by computer enhancement. It is understood that most law enforcement agencies throughout the world require that the parallax distortion be corrected optically.
  • parallax distortion is minimized through the use of a slanted CCD array in combination with a lens having a high f-stop and an anamorphic prism.
  • the CCD array is slanted to the objective distribution plane of the prism.
  • the objective distribution plane is positioned at an angle equal in magnitude but opposite in phase from the plane in which the clearest focus is possible.
  • the image achieved in the objective distribution plane does not include significant parallax distortion.
  • MEGAPLUS array manufactured by KODAK having a 2,000 x 2,000 array, would have adequate capacity to produce the required resolution needed for a palm print.
  • CCD arrays cost almost as much as entire commercial systems for capturing fingerprints.
  • the f-stop would need to be substantially increased with a corresponding increase in illumination.
  • the level illumination required to capture the image of a palm with a very high f-stop would require considerable energy and probably would cause thermal problems.
  • 4,032,889 utilizes photocells to capture the image of a palm.
  • the photocells used in U.S. Patent No. 4,032,889, as well as the method taught by U.S. Patent No. 4,032,889, are basic methods which may be useful in comparing two different palm prints, but lack other desirable characteristics.

  • the parallax distortion may be characterized by segments having different lengths and widths.
  • the segments are spaced between a far segment at one end and a near segment at the other end.
  • the far segment is the furthest from the lens while the near segment is the closest to the lens.
  • Parallax distortion is created because the different segments of the image are subject to different magnifications within the prism, thereby creating segments having different dimensions, i.e. length and width.
  • the different dimensions are eliminated by selectively adjusting the magnification of the lens relative to each segment of the image so that each segment includes the same dimensions.
  • the prism of the present invention includes a palm receiving surface and a object surface.
  • the palm is placed upon the palm receiving surface.
  • the object surface is the surface of the prism from which the image of the palm is projected.
  • the object surface is slanted with respect to the palm receiving surface. Because the object surface is slanted with respect to the palm receiving surface, light reflected from different portions of the palm, i.e. the far segment relative to the near segment, must travel different distances within the prism before being projected. The different distances the light must travel creates parallax. While not being bound to any particular theory, the present invention focuses on the length of the linear segments rather than their width. It may be assumed that the different lengths associated with different segments of the palm creates the parallax distortion.
  • Parallax distortion may be eliminated by magnifying each linear segment of the palm by a different amount and making them the same length. For example, the near segment may be magnified so that its length is the same as the far segment. All of the segments may then be added to create an image of a palm print. The added segments may then be processed, according to the methods of either U.S. Patent Nos. 4,933,976 or 5,230,025, both of which are incorporated by reference.
  • a linear CCD array travels along a predetermined angled vector relative to a prism.
  • the vector includes vertical and horizontal components.
  • a lens moves horizontally relative to the prism while maintaining a constant horizontal distance from a CCD.
  • a CCD moves vertically relative to the lens.
  • the linear CCD array is capable of only capturing one segment of the palm image at a time. For each segment of the palm image being captured, the lens and linear CCD array are repositioned relative to the prism. By repositioning the lens and the CCD array, different segments of the palm image may be magnified by different amounts. By magnifying the segments of the palm image different amounts, segments of otherwise unequal length can be made equal .
  • the invention also provides a movable light source which illuminates only that portion of the prism corresponding to the portion of the palm, the image of which is being captured.
  • the movable light source preferably includes a light bar and a mirror positioned on a movable arm. The mirror reflects light into the prism at different locations dependent upon the position of the arm.
  • the palm printer also includes, in combination, a fingerprint capture device .
  • the lens and linear CCD array will be closer to the prism when the near segment is captured, thereby providing increased magnification for that segment, and the lens and CCD array will be farther away when the far segment is captured, thereby providing less magnification.
  • a standard length for a segment of the image may be chosen, and each segment of the image may then be scanned individually and magnified by a different amount so that each segment has the same length when projected onto the CCD.
  • the second preferred embodiment of the present invention optically eliminates parallax distortion by providing a clear cylinder over which a palm may be rolled.
  • the second preferred embodiment utilizes a linear CCD array in a fixed position relative to the cylinder.
  • Parallax distortion is not an issue in the second preferred embodiment because the portion of the palm in contact with the clear cylinder, as it is rolled across the cylinder, is a constant distance away from the lens and CCD array.
  • Palm print system 10 which can be used to optically produce palm print images in accordance with the present invention is illustrated generally in Figure 1.
  • Palm print system 10 is a microprocessor-based system which includes processor 12 and associated random access memory (RAM) 14 and read only memory (ROM) 16.
  • Image recorder 22, digitizer 24, video monitor 26, alarm 30, printer 28, and terminal 18 are interfaced into processor 12.
  • the palm print images are captured by utilizing a prism 250.
  • Prism 250 includes a receiving surface 256 and an object surface 258.
  • a palm is placed in contact with receiving surface 256 which is illuminated, and an image is propagated from object surface 258 which is imaged by recorder 22 and digitized by digitizer 24.
  • a light source 200 is directed through prism 250 and reflects off of receiving surface 256.
  • Image recorder 22 generally includes a lens, a shutter mechanism, and a recorder medium for controlled recording of palm print images.
  • Terminal 18 includes a keyboard (not separately shown) which is used by an operator to interface with palm print system 10. Palm print images generated by system 10 can be displayed on video monitor 26 or printed onto a standard palm print card by printer 28. Alarm 30 is activated when a palm print is not properly captured, providing the operator with an indication that the capture procedure must be repeated.
  • Systems operative in optically digitizing a fingerprint are disclosed in commonly assigned Fishbein et al. U.S. Patent No. 4,933,976, and Fishbein et al. 5,230,025, the specification and drawings of which are hereby incorporated by reference.

  • Prism 250 is large enough to receive the entire palm surface.
  • receiving surface is at least 144 square centimeters although larger receiving surfaces are also contemplated.
  • prism 250 may be hollow with sidewalls constructed from plexiglass.
  • the prism may be filled with a clear fluid having a refractive index ranging from approximately 1.1 to 4.0, although an index above 1.5 is preferred.
  • FIG 5 there is generally shown a palm which has been divided into a plurality of segments, 1 through N. Segment 1 represents the segment closest to the lens, while segment N represents the segment farthest from the lens.

  • Lens 110 is preferably a 60mm lens, available from a variety of manufacturers, for example Thompson Composants Militaires et Spatiaux of France or Dalsa of Waterloo, Ontario.
  • CCD array device 120 is purchased from Dalsa as a Dalsa CCD array model CL-C73456. Referring specifically to Figure 3, lens 110 is rigidly held into place by an image recorder frame or carriage 121.
  • Carriage 121 is slidably positioned on gear bar 102 which is positioned proximate prism 20.
  • Gear bar 102 is engaged to a linear stepper motor 140 operable in moving carriage 121 horizontally toward and away from prism 250, along gear bar 102, as best illustrated in Figure 2.

  • Angle ⁇ is determined by the configuration of prism 250. Specifically, angle ⁇ is determined by the refractive index of the prism material and in the first preferred embodiment is 47°.
  • the present invention provides significant advantages. Utilization of a linear CCD array 120 is significantly cheaper than the two dimensional CCD arrays of the prior art. This is especially true because of size limitations placed on two dimensional CCD arrays large enough to capture the image of a palm. Further, by moving the CCD array up and down the CCD can be positioned at the focal point of the lens for any given segment of the palm which is being captured. By continuously positioning the CCD array at the focal point of the lens, the f-stop of the lens does not need to be very high to obtain the proper resolution. Additionally, the illumination requirements are minimized which in turn decrease power requirements of the device . It is to be understood that the image segments may be magnified using a variety of other techniques.

For example, if segment 1 of palm, as shown in Figure 5, was captured initially, carriage 121 and thereby lens 110 would move forward towards prism 250 and CCD array 120 would move upward relative to lens 110. Correspondingly, arm 204 and mirror 206 would be also repositioned.

L'invention porte sur un système optique servant à éliminer les distorsions dues au parallaxe dans une image saisie et plus spécifiquement dans une image de l'empreinte de la paume de la main. L'appareil contient un prisme présentant une surface réceptrice et une surface objet. La paume est placée sur la surface réceptrice tandis qu'une lumière éclaire ladite surface de manière à ce que l'image de la paume soit diffusée par la surface objet. L'image diffusée comporte de multiples segments. Une lentille agrandit sélectivement chacun des segments selon un rapport différents de manière à créer un ensemble de segments agrandis de même longueur. Un support d'enregistrement de l'image saisit alors les segments agrandis. L'invention porte également sur un dispositif cylindrique servant à saisir l'image de la paume, laquelle paume peut rouler sur un cylindre transparent tandis que la lumière réfléchie est saisie sur un support d'enregistrement représentatif de l'empreinte de la paume.
