    This document provides an overview of fingerprint recognition, including what biometrics is, what fingerprints are, how fingerprint recognition systems work, and some applications. Fingerprint recognition works by acquiring a fingerprint image, extracting minutiae features like ridge endings and bifurcations, and matching those minutiae features between two fingerprints. It has advantages like high accuracy and small storage requirements, but can be affected by dirt or wounds on fingers. Fingerprint recognition sees applications in areas like banking security, physical access control, and criminal identification.

    Conclusion

    Biometrics
    Biometrics is the science and
    technology of measuring and analyzing
    biological data
    Biometrics refers to technologies that
    measure and analyze human body
    characteristics, such as DNA,
    fingerprints, eye retinas and irises,
    voice patterns ,facial patterns and hand
    measurements, for authentication
    purposes.
    The two categories of biometric
    identifiers include :
    physiological characteristics.
    behavioral characteristics.

    Physiological characteristics :
    Fingerprint
    face recognition
    DNA
    palm print
    hand geometry
    iris recognition(which has largely replaced retina)
    Odour /scent.

    Behavioral characteristics :
    Gait
    voice

    Fingerprint
    A fingerprint is the feature pattern of
    one finger.
    It is the pattern of ridges and valleys
    (also called furrows in the fingerprint
    literature) on the surface of a fingertip.
    Each individual has unique fingerprints
    so the uniqueness of a fingerprint is
    exclusively determined by the local
    ridge characteristics and their
    relationships
    These local ridge characteristics are not
    evenly distributed.

    Fingerprints are distinguished by Minutiae, which are some abnormal points on the ridges.
    The two most prominent local ridge characteristics, called minutiae, are
    1) ridge ending and
    2) ridge bifurcation.

    Sensor

    A ridge ending is defined as the


    point where a ridge ends
    abruptly.
    A ridge bifurcation is defined as
    the point where
    a ridge forks or diverges into
    branch ridges.

    What is Fingerprint
    Recognition?
    Fingerprint recognition
    (sometimes referred to as
    dactyloscopy) is the process of
    comparing questioned and known
    fingerprint against another
    fingerprint to determine if the
    impressions are from the same
    finger or palm.

    The fingerprint recognition problem


    can be grouped into two subdomains:
    Fingerprint verification :
    Fingerprint verification is to verify
    the authenticity of one person by his
    fingerprint.
    Fingerprint identification:
    Fingerprint identification is to
    specify one persons identity by his
    fingerprint(s).

    FINGERPRINT RECOGNITION
    SYSTEM system
    Fingerprint recognition
    operates in three stages:
    (i) Fingerprint acquiring device
    (ii) Minutia extraction and
    (iii) Minutia matching

    Fig 4. Fingerprint recognition system

    1.Fingerprint acquisition:
    For fingerprint acquisition, optical or
    semi-conduct sensors are widely
    used. They have high efficiency and
    acceptable accuracy except for
    some cases that the users finger is
    too dirty or dry.
    2.Minutia extractor :
    To implement a minutia extractor, a
    three-stage approach is widely used
    by researchers which are
    preprocessing
    minutia extraction and
    postprocessing stage.

    Fig 5.Minutia extractor

    For the fingerprint image


    preprocessing stage:
    Image enhancement
    Image binarization
    Image segmentation
    The job of minutiae extraction closes
    down to two operations: Ridge
    Thinning, Minutiae Marking,.
    In post-processing stage, false minutia
    are removed and bifurcations is
    proposed to unify terminations and
    bifurcations.

    3.Minutiae Matching:
    Generally, an automatic fingerprint
    verification is achieved with minutia
    matching
    (point
    pattern
    matching)instead
    of
    a
    pixel-wise
    matching or a ridge pattern matching of
    fingerprint images.
    The minutia matcher chooses any two
    minutia as a reference minutia pair and
    then match their associated ridges first.
    If the ridges match well, two fingerprint
    images are aligned and matching is
    conducted for all remaining minutia.

    ADVANTAGES
    Very high accuracy.
    Easy to use.
    Small storage space required for
    the biometric template.

    DISADVANTAGES
    Dirt , grime and wounds .
    Placement of finger.
    Can be spoofed .

    applications
    Banking Security - ATM security,card
    transaction
    Physical Access Control (e.g. Airport)
    Information System Security
    National ID Systems
    Passport control (INSPASS)
    Prisoner, prison visitors, inmate control
    Voting
    Identification of Criminals
    Identification of missing children
    Secure E-Commerce (Still under
    research)

    Conclusion
    The implemented minutia extraction
    algorithm is accurate and fast in
    minutia extraction.
    The algorithm also identifies the
    unrecoverable corrupted regions in
    the fingerprint and removes them
    from further processing.
    This is a very important property
    because such unrecoverable regions
    do appear in some of the corrupted
    fingerprint images and they are
    extremely harmful to minutiae
    extraction.
