Matlab Project for FingerPrint Recognition and Matching Using Image Processing

ABSTRACT

                 The popular Biometric used to authenticate a person is Fingerprint which is unique and permanent throughout a person’s life. A minutia matching is widely used for fingerprint recognition and can be classified as ridge ending and ridge bifurcation. In this paper we projected Fingerprint Recognition using Minutia Score Matching method (FRMSM). For Fingerprint thinning, the Block Filter is used, which scans the image at the boundary to preserves the quality of the image and extract the minutiae from the thinned image. Fingerprint is a very vital concept in making us completely unique and can not be altered. It is necessary to recognize fingerprint in proper manner. Here we are trying to recognize the fingerprint image samples by using minute extraction and minute matching techniques. In minute extraction it counts the crossing numbers and from the count it will be classified as normal ridge pixel, termination point and bifurcation point. Then the input finger print data is compared with the template data. This is called as minute matching. 

                    Biometric systems operate on behavioral and physiological biometric data to identify a person. The behavioral biometric parameters are signature, gait, speech and keystroke, these parameters change with age and environment. However physiological characteristics such as face, fingerprint, palm print and iris remains unchanged through out the life time of a person. The biometric system operates as verification mode or identification mode depending on the requirement of an application. The verification mode validates a person’s identity by comparing captured biometric data with ready made template. The identification mode recognizes a person’s identity by performing matches against multiple fingerprint biometric templates. Fingerprints are widely used in daily life for more than 100 years due to its feasibility, distinctiveness, permanence, accuracy, reliability, and acceptability. Fingerprint is a pattern of ridges, furrows and minutiae, which are extracted using inked impression on a paper or sensors. A good quality fingerprint contains 25 to 80 minutiae depending on sensor resolution and finger placement on the sensor. The false minutiae are the false ridge breaks due to insufficient amount of ink and cross-connections due to over inking. It is difficult to extract reliably minutia from poor quality fingerprint impressions arising from very dry fingers and fingers mutilated by scars, scratches due to accidents, injuries.
