Abstract

Lip print examination is a very difficult and complex task even for modern forensic departments. Computer systems that will assist a crime scene expert in identification of this kind of evidence are very desired in the forensic science community. Unfortunately, such softwares do not exist as methods of automatic lip print identification are still insufficiently developed. This paper presents an original method of lip print pattern extraction that can be used as a preprocessing stage in the lip print identification process. Research shows that the proposed method increased lip print identification accuracy for all tested template matching algorithms. After further improvements, our method can be used as a base for creating a personal identification system based on lip prints.
