 Finger Print Recognition Progress Report 1
CHAPTER -I
I
NTRODUCTION
General Statement of the Problem
In order to aid forensics in criminal identification, authenticationin civilianapplications and for preventing unauthorized there is a need todevelop a finger printrecognition and analysis system.
Background
Fingerprint verification is an important biometric technique forpersonal identification. Biometrics are automated methods of recognizing an individual based on their physiological (e.g.,fingerprints, face, retina, iris) or behavioral characteristics (e.g., gait,signature). Biometric-based solutions are able to provide forconfidential financial transactions and personal data privacy.
Importance of problem
Each biometric has its strengths and weaknesses and the choicetypically depends on the application. No single biometric is expected toeffectively meet the requirements of all the applications. The matchbetween a biometric and an application is determined depending uponthe characteristics of the application and the properties of thebiometric.
Information
Fingerprints are graphical flow-like ridges present on humanfingers. They are fully formed at about seven months of fetusdevelopment and finger ridge configurations do not change throughoutthe life of an individual except due to accidents such as bruises andcuts on the fingertips. This property makes fingerprints a veryattractive biometric identifier. Fingerprint system can be separated intotwo categories Verification and identification.Identification system recognizes an individual by searching theentire template database for a match. It conducts one-to-manycomparisons to establish the identity of the individual. In anidentification system, the system establishes a subject’s identity (orfails
 
if the subject is not enrolled in the system database) without thesubject having to claim an identity.

Description of Fingerprint System
 The various steps involved in a typical fingerprint recognitionsystem are shownBelow
Figure 1: Various steps in a Fingerprint system
A finger print system works in two modes they are Enrollmentmode and Authentication mode. Enrollment mode: fingerprint systemis used to identify and collect the related information about the personand his/her fingerprint image. Authentication mode: fingerprint systemis used to identify the person who is declared to be him/her.

BJECTIVES
 The overall objective of the project is to develop a finger printsystem based on directional filter bank technique which works onminutiae. A point in the fingerprint image is designated as a minutia if it belongs to an ending, beginning or bifurcation of a ridge. Theextraction of minutiae relies heavily on the quality of the input images.
