A vehicle emergency rescue request system includes a rescue request process apparatus and an in-vehicle apparatus. The rescue request process apparatus includes a surrounding-region terminal search unit, a rescue request transmission unit, a first request-addressee information acquisition unit, and a digital key providing unit. The surrounding-region terminal search unit searches for a terminal in a surrounding region. The rescue request transmission unit transmits a rescue request to the terminal. The first request-addressee information acquisition unit acquires, from the terminal, information identifying a request addressee who has the terminal on and accepts the rescue request. The digital key providing unit gives a door-unlock authority to the terminal after the information is acquired. The in-vehicle apparatus includes at least one processor and at least one memory. The processor acquires biometric information regarding the request addressee if the request addressee uses the door-unlock authority and unlocks a door of the vehicle.

A method for extracting a signature of a fingerprint shown on a source image is described. For this purpose, the source image is transformed into the frequency domain. One or more ridge frequencies are next determined by means of a convolutional neural network applied to said transformed image, n being an integer greater than or equal to 1. The source image is normalized in response to said n ridge frequencies determined. One or more signatures of said fingerprint are finally extracted from said n normalized images.
