A Study on Fingerprint (biometrics) Recognition

Abstract

Till now many algorithms are published for fingerprint recognition and these algorithms has different accuracy rate. This paper consists of information of about fingerprint (biometrics) recognition. The novel algorithm is considered for thinning process. Whole process of recognition is explained from image capturing to verification. The image captured is first converted to gray scale then image enrichment is done then thinning process take over charge which is main process then last process which is also equally important as thinning process is feature extraction which extracts ridge ending, bifurcation, and dot. The accuracy depends on the result of the three main process namely pre-processing, thinning process and feature extraction.
