Method for identification of fragments of lip prints images on the basis of the generalized hough transform

The paper presents a new method for identification of fragments of lip print images on the basis of the Generalized Hough Transform (GHT). The effectiveness of this method was verified in practice. The maximum value obtained from the accumulator array after the Hough transform has been assumed as the measure of similarity between a lip print image and a reference object. The advantage of this method is the possibility of use in forensic science to identify persons who left lip prints at crime scenes.
