Lip traces recognition based on lines pattern

This paper presents a method for automatic lip traces recognition based on lip furrows arrangement. First, lip trace is scanned and subjected to image processing and feature extraction. Then, identification is performed by comparing lip trace characteristics with a collection of comparative lip prints characteristics stored in a database. The proposed solution gives a satisfactory level of identification accuracy. After further improvement, it can be used as part of a system performing analysis of traces recovered from crime scenes.
