Survey on Minutiae Coordinates of X-Axis and Y- Axis in Fingerprint Captured Image using Optical Fingerprint Scanner

Fingerprint recognition is the most effective biometric to provide authentication. Fingerprint images are captured using an optical fingerprint scanner. The fingerprint images are then marked for unique points like bifurcation or ridge termination called minutiae. In this paper, we have surveyed fingerprints of 40 subjects and proposed a new factor in fingerprint image captured from the optical sensor. X-Axis and Y-Axis of the minutiae in the captured fingerprint images are analyzed using coordinate measurement system in order to find an improved and effective way of minutiae coordinates storage as a database for further recognition. This technique acts as an effective way for fingerprint database compression.
