Detection and rectification of ATM transactions USING

FINGERPRINTS recognition

Fingerprint recognition application is widely used applications in security related areas in

a modern world. In this area an Elastic distortion of fingerprints is one of the major causes for
false non-match. Such a way the malicious users may purposely distort their fingerprints to
evade identification. Identification and verification of a person today is a common thing; which
may include door-lock system, safe box and vehicle control or even at accessing bank accounts
via ATM, etc which is necessary for securing personal information.

The conventional methods like ID card verification or signature does not provide
perfection and reliability. The systems employed at these places must be fast enough and robust
too. Use of the ATM (Automatic Teller Machine) which provides customers with the convenient
banknote trading is facing a new challenge to carry on the valid identity to the customer. Since,
in conventional identification methods with ATM, criminal cases are increasing making financial
losses to customers.

False non-match rates of fingerprint matchers are very high in the case of severely
distorted fingerprints. This generates a security hole in automatic fingerprint recognition
systems which can be utilized by criminals and terrorists. For this reason, it is necessary to
develop a fingerprint distortion detection and rectification algorithms to fill the hole.
