Abstract
The present invention is a method for overcoming the challenge of acquiring good quality animal nose pattern images for biometric recognition caused by the moisture present on the nose surface, by removing the moisture or by pairing moisture removal and the application of an astringent or pigment prior to image capture.
Claims16
A method for acquiring animal nose pattern images, comprising:
- capturing a nose pattern image using a camera connected to or embedded in a mobile device or a computer,
- generating a nose pattern template for biometric registration or authentication from the captured nose pattern image,
- wherein the nose pattern template generation occurs on at least one out of the group consisting of the mobile device, the computer, or a cloud server;
- and
- removing a moisture from a surface of an animal's nose prior to the nose pattern image capture to minimize or prevent reflections.
