ABSTRACT:
In order to classify fingerprint images with a high precision by integrating classification results and their merits of different classification means making use of their probability data, a fingerprint image classification system of the invention includes: a plurality of classification units (12 and 15), each of the plurality of classification units (12 and 15) generating an individual probability data set (17 or 18) indicating each probability of a fingerprint image (16) to be classified into each of categories; a probability estimation unit (13) for estimating an integrated probability data set (19) from every of the individual probability data set (17 and 18); and a category decision unit (14) for outputting a classification result of the fingerprint image (16) according to the integrated probability data set (19).
