Feature extraction plays a primary role in pattern recognition classification. Many context-based and problem-based algorithms have been proposed providing good performance in high-quality fingerprint imaging but fail when declining with poor-quality fingerprints. The pyramidal algorithm we present in this paper operates on an image matrix layer for extracting features from ink-and-paper fingerprints. The effectiveness of the pyramidal algorithm compared to the consolidation algorithm is demonstrated using a backpropagation neural network experiment to test preprocessed data.
