[comp.graphics] image-processing help

dedina@silver.bacs.indiana.edu (09/15/87)

I have a friend who is involved in a research project in which he
makes use of "ridge counts".  In computing a ridge count the subject's
hand-print is taken and the number of ridges insersecting a line
between two particular points on the hand is counted.

My friend would obviously like to automate the process of finding
ridge-counts, since its quite time-consuming.  He would like to
develop or find someone to develop some sort of image-processing
system to do this.  He has little knowledge of image processing.  Any
ideas at all on where to start or who to get in contact with would be
appreciated.  Please email me.  Thanks.
