Abstract
A reference image for pattern recognition tasks is produced. Overlapping individual images are combined to form an overall image and the overall image is used as the reference image. This allows the size of reference images for fingerprints, for instance, which has hitherto been governed by the sensor area, to be increased. The recognition rate can thus be improved.
