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...

Biometric system is essentially a pattern recognition system which recognizes a person by determining the authenticity of a specific physiological (e.g., fingerprints, face, retina, iris) or behavioral (e.g., gait, signature) characteristic possessed by that person. Among all the presently employed biometric techniques, fingerprint identification systems have received the most attention due to ...

In this paper, a novel online fingerprint verification algorithm and distribution system is proposed. In the beginning, fingerprint acquisition, image preprocessing, and feature extraction are conducted on workstations. Then, the extracted feature is transmitted over the internet. Finally, fingerprint verification is processed on a server through web-based database query. For the fingerprint fe...

In many cases the average fingerprint ridge frequency in the whole fingerprint image should be determined. This parameter is, among other things, very important in procedures, where so-called fingerprint reference point has to be located. Unfortunately, as far, ridges frequency has been determined a priori, on the basis of anthropological measurements of the human population. This parameter is ...

The deployment of a fingerprint positioning method consists of an offline phase and a real-time phase. During the offline phase, a fingerprint database is built. This process is tedious and time consuming. Even so, the majority of WiFi-based indoor positioning methods implemented in practical indoor location–based service (ILBS) systems are the fingerprint method, because this method is accurat...

Fingerprint authentication is the most consistent and practicable methods of person appreciation. The only problem with functionality of Fingerprint authentication System is it depends on the eminence of image. The quality of fingerprint image affects by both surroundings and scanner’s-surface. The Fingerprint Trivia-Matching is not possible until the eminence of fingerprint image improve. The ...

Fingerprint identification is one of the oldest and popularly used forms of biometric identification system. Fingerprint image quality is of much importance to achieve high performance in Automatic Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS). Most of the fingerprint Recognition system relies on fingerprint ridges to extract the features. The fingerprint images which are corrupted due to variations...

Touch-less based fingerprint verification systems are free from the problems of image deformation, latent fingerprint issues and so forth that appear in the contemporary touch based fingerprint verification systems. Coupled with template protection mechanism, a touch-less fingerprint verification system is further enhanced. In this paper, a secure end-to-end touch-less fingerprint verification ...

Reference points play important role in the field of fingerprint recognition. It is mainly used for fingerprint classification and fingerprint matching. There are many methods proposed for fingerprint reference point detection like Poincare Index technique, Direction curvature technique etc. The purpose of this paper is to detect the reference points considering the uncertainty for imperfection...
