Method of extracting features from a fingerprint represented by an input image

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for extracting features of interest from a fingerprint represented by an input image, the method being characterized in that it comprises the implementation, by data processing means (21) of a client equipment (2), of steps of: (a) Estimation of at least one candidate angular deviation of an orientation of said input image with respect to a reference orientation, by means of a convolutional neural network, CNN; (b) Recalibration of said input image as a function of said estimated candidate angular deviation, so that the orientation of the recalibrated image matches said reference orientation; (c) Processing said recalibrated image so as to extract said features of interest from the fingerprint represented by said input image.
