Segmentation Algorithm of Fingerprint Image Basing on Markov Model

The fingerprint identification of image identification is an important research area, in this area, many models are all effective to the fingerprint identification, such as Markov model. In this article, the research object is the closed curves in the fingerprint image, when Markov chain in one closed curve which is made by transition probability converges to the edge of fingerprint region, this curve achieves to segregate the fingerprint region from the background area.
