Summary: 
This paper describes a new approach to detect a fingerprint core location using the extended relational graph, which is generated by the segmentation of the ridge directional image. The extended relational graph presents the adjacency between segments of the directional image and the boundary information between segments of the directional image. The boundary curves generated by the boundary information in the extended relational graph is approximated to the straight lines. The fingerprint core location is calculated as center of the gravity in the points of intersection of these approximated lines. Experimental results show that 90.8% of the 130 fingerprint samples are succeeded to detect the core location.
