Fingerprint Recognition
Abstract:
This biometrics project focuses on fingerprint recognition and how such a system would be implemented.
If implemented in our laboratory, this system would confirm or deny the identity of each individual
attempting to gain access to the lab area with a given amount of precision. The scanner that will be used
in this project is the Microsoft Fingerprint Reader. The primary problem in using this particular scanner
comes from the security features Microsoft incorporates. The signal caring all the information from the
fingerprint scan is encrypted, and the biggest challenge will come from deciphering this signal. Another
major challenge of this project will be understanding the methods used to analyze the information from
the scan. There are several different methods including Fourier Exponential Series and Principle
Component Analysis, but cutting edge systems rely on information stored with wavelets to analyze and
compare scans. If this project is a success, the lab will benefit from the security and understanding of
modern fingerprint recognition.
