Abstract
Systems, methods, etc., that that assist a print examiner to thoroughly search and compare a print or substantial portion thereof against a known print database contained within an AFIS system. In certain embodiments, the prints can be definitively matched to a corresponding same print in the database. A result of a more thorough search and comparison can be a higher hit score and accuracy rate. In certain embodiments, the database comprises a candidate list of previously obtained prints to assist in the identification.
Claims23
1-75. (canceled)
A method of analyzing prints comprising:
- a) providing an at least 2-dimensional image of a print;
- b) subjecting the image to magnitude enhancement analysis such that at least one relative magnitude across at least a substantial portion of the print is depicted in an additional dimension relative to the at least 2-dimensions to provide a magnitude enhanced image such that additional levels of magnitudes are substantially more cognizable to a human eye compared to the 2-dimensional image without the magnitude enhancement analysis;
- c) displaying the magnitude enhanced image;
- and,
- d) automatically directionally lighting the magnitude enhanced image such that at least one lighting angle for the magnitude enhanced image different from ambient light is provided, to provide a directionally lit magnitude enhanced image.
