Muzzle Print Recognition Using Fuzzy Eigen Face Method

Abstract

Muzzle print recognition is the process of finding any muzzle in the image. It is a two-dimension procedure used for detecting muzzles and analyzing the information contained in the muzzle image. Here the muzzle images are projected to a feature space or face space to encode the variation between the known muzzle images. In this paper Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is used for dimension reduction and the projected feature space is formed using fuzzy algorithm. The above method can be used to recognize a new muzzle in unsupervised manner.
