Abstract

Fingerprints are one of the most unique visual patterns on human body. It represents both innate and acquired identities of an individual. In this paper, we focus on relationship between fingerprint patterns and human identities by transforming image into audio. Digiti Sonus, an interactive fingerprint sonification installation, contains a novel idea to facilitate and enhance an interactive auditory meaning by transforming user-intended fingerprint expression into audio spectrogram. In order to enable personalized sonification, the installation employed dynamic filter generation based on minutiae extraction using core-invariant scanning method and image skeletonization.
