Abstract
A method for selecting an image of a fingerprint for identifying an individual is described. The method includes: acquiring a current image comprising a fingerprint and segmenting said fingerprint; determining a value representing a stability of said current image; determining a value representing the sharpness of said current image; determining a score, said score being a combination of said value representing a stability, of said value representing a sharpness and of a number of segmented fingerprints; and selecting said current image for identifying said individual in the case where said score is higher than a first threshold value, and otherwise storing said current image in memory as best image in the case where the score thereof is higher than a best score value, and repeating this method.
