Enhanced Thinning Based Finger Print Recognition

Abstract

This paper is the implementation of fingerprint recognition system in which the matching is done using the Minutiae points. The methodology is the extracting & applying matching procedure on the Minutiae points between the sample fingerprint & fingerprint under question. The main functional blocks of this system follows steps of Image Thinning, Image Segmentation, Minutiae (feature) point Extraction, & Minutiae point Matching. The procedure of Enhanced Thinning included for the purpose of decreasing the size of the memory space used by the fingerprint image database.
