A fingerprint recognition device is provided. The fingerprint recognition device includes an image acquisition module acquiring a fingerprint image including an input fingerprint, a preprocessing module generating a preprocessed image by preprocessing the fingerprint image, a minutiae extraction module extracting coordinates of each of minutiae and orientation points of the input fingerprint from the preprocessed image and a fake detection module receiving regions-of-interest (ROIs), including the coordinates of each of the minutiae or orientation points of the input fingerprint, and determining whether the input fingerprint is a fake by performing learning using the received ROIs.

Fingerprint recognition device and smart card

Provided is an image processing device configured to compress first image data. The image processing device includes an encoding circuit configured to compress the first image data into second image data including prediction data and residual data, compress the second image data into third image data by performing entropy encoding on the second image data, generate a header representing a compression ratio of the third image data, and store the third image data along with the header in a memory device as compressed first image data.

Image processing device

A vertical memory device includes a substrate including a cell array region and a connection region adjacent to the cell array region, a plurality of gate electrode layers stacked on the cell array region and the connection region of the substrate, a channel structure on the cell array region and extending in a direction perpendicular to an upper surface of the substrate while penetrating through the plurality of gate electrode layers, a dummy channel structure on the connection region and extending in the direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the substrate while penetrating through at least a portion of the plurality of gate electrode layers, and a support insulating layer between a portion of the plurality of gate electrode layers and the dummy channel structure. The plurality of gate electrode form a stepped structure on the connection region.

Vertical memory device

Provided are an apparatus and method for correcting distortion of an image. The method includes finding center point vectors including lens distortion center information about an image and dividing the image into at least two blocks on the basis of the center point vectors, and determining representative directions of the at least two divided blocks and removing outlier vectors not indicating the representative directions from the blocks to estimate a lens distortion center. Accordingly, accurate image correction is enabled by estimating distortion centers of images generated by devices equipped with any lens. Also, image content improving lens distortion correction performance is differentiated from image content degrading the same by picking out image content improving lens distortion center estimation performance, so that a superior image correction effect to other image correction techniques can be obtained.

Apparatus and method for correcting distortion of image

Provided are an apparatus and method for processing an image. The apparatus includes a detector configured to form one group with pieces of pixel information on an edge of a received image, detect line segments, and generate a plurality of curves using the detected line segments, an optimizer configured to apply a weight to a cost function based on the plurality of generated curves according to distance from the center of the image, define a curve having a shorter length than a threshold value as an outlier and a curve having a greater length than the threshold value as an inlier, remove the outlier, and estimate a distortion level parameter, and a corrector configured to correct a position of a pixel with a correction value using the distortion level parameter. Accordingly, it is possible to correct lens distortion of even an image that has not been directly photographed, and to correct images generated by devices equipped with any lens rather than a specific camera or photographing apparatus.
