Hong’s algorithm inputs a fingerprint image and applies various steps for enhancement. Several other enhancement techniques present in literature are based on fuzzy logic and neural networks [33-40]. Choonwoo et al [41] presented a novel approach to enhance feature extraction for low quality fingerprint images using stochastic resonance (SR).
Most of the fingerprint extraction and matching techniques restrict the set of features to two types of minutiae: ridge endings and ridge bifurcations, as shown in Fig. 3. A good quality fingerprint typically contains about 40–100 minutiae. In a latent or partial fingerprint, the number of minutiae is much less (approximately 20 to 30).
Thus, image enhancement techniques are employed prior to minutiae extraction. A critical step in automatic fingerprint matching is to reliably extract minutiae from the input fingerprint images.

A fingerprint is the pattern of ridges and valleys on the surface of a fingertip. Each individual has unique fingerprints. Most fingerprint matching systems are based on four types of fingerprint representation schemes (Fig. 1): grayscale image (Bazen et al., 2000), phase image (Thebaud, 1999), skeleton image (Feng, 2006; Hara & Toyama, 2007), and
Fingerprint segmentation is an important part of a fingerprint identification and verification system. However the time spent in segmentation is also crucial. The algorithms presented in [13] and [14] work quite well in the extraction of the required region but these algorithms have very high computational cost. We have developed an
Fingerprints are the oldest and most widely used form of biometric identification. Everyone is known to have unique, immutable fingerprints. As most Automatic Fingerprint Recognition Systems are based on local ridge features known as minutiae, marking minutiae accurately and rejecting false ones is very important. However, fingerprint images get degraded and corrupted due to variations in skin ...
Fingerprint is the combination of ridges and valleys. There are two types of fingerprint matching technologies, namely correlation based and minutiae based. Between these two technologies minutiae based matching is most widely used one. In fingerprint terms, minutiae point is defined as ridge ending point or ridge bifurcating point.
fingerprint images get degraded and corrupted due to variations in skin and impression conditions. Thus, image enhancement techniques are employed prior to minutiae extraction. A critical step in automatic fingerprint matching is to reliably extract minutiae from the input fingerprint images. The techniques are broadly

This early reader used capacitive techniques to collect the fingerprint minutiae (See Hardware section).2 At that time ... than one minute, significantly improve fingerprint image quality, reduce the failure-to-enroll rate, and be ...
Free software results in a relatively high number of false minutiae, due to image noise, rate of fingerprint damage and incorrect minutiae extraction algorithm. The increase of accuracy is treated ...
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.
Fingerprint matching, spoof mitigation and liveness detection are the trendiest biometric techniques, mostly because of their stability through life, uniqueness and their least risk of invasion.
Fingerprint Identification is the method of identification using the impressions made by the minute ridge formations or patterns ... Minutiae-based techniques first find minutiae points and then map their relative placement on the finger Fig.6 shows the basic ... For a good quality fingerprint feature extraction is much easier, efficient and ...
The minutiae extraction is done by enhancing the fingerprint by using filtering techniques in the pre-processing stage. The image is further improved with Fast Fourier transformation as second enhancement technique. The filtering techniques used are Lucy-Richardson, Wiener and Unsharp.
Minutiae extraction method is widely used in for fingerprint feature extraction compared to the other methods [2]. There are five classes such as, Arch, Tented Arch, Right Loop, Left Loop and ...
The performance of minutiae extraction algorithms and other fingerprint recognition techniques relies heavily on the quality of the fingerprint images, and thus, pre-processing is a very important step. The stages of pre-processing are as follows: Grayscale Transformation. Image Normalization. Segmentation. Directional Map. Frequency Map. Gabor ...
Despite significant advancements in fingerprint-based authentication, existing models still suffer from challenges such as high false acceptance and rejection rates, computational inefficiency, and vulnerability to spoofing attacks. Addressing these limitations is crucial for ensuring reliable biometric security in real-world applications, including law enforcement, financial transactions, and ...
