Ridge characteristics, also known as minutiae, are the fine details in the patterns of friction ridges found on the skin's surface, primarily on the fingers, palms, and soles.These unique ridge features are crucial in forensic fingerprint identification. No two fingerprints share the same arrangement of minutiae, making them a highly reliable method for personal identification.
Minutiae based fingerprint technique is the backbone of most currently available fingerprint recognition products. Compared to other fingerprint features, the minutia point features having corresponding orientation maps are distinct enough to distinguish between fingerprints robustly.
Figure 1. Fingerprint representation schemes. (a) Grayscale image (FVC2002 DB1, 19_1), (b) phase image, (c) skeleton image, and (d) minutiae (Feng & Jain, 2011)In this chapter, we study the recent advancements in the field of minutia-based fingerprint extraction and recognition, where we give a comprehensive idea about some of the well-known methods that were presented by researchers during ...
With the help of simulated data based on divergence maps estimated from 20 high quality fingerprints of the database FVC2002 DB1, compare Maio et al. , MiSeal is evaluated in section 6 and we show that the database's fingerprints indeed feature necessary and random minutiae. section 7 gives an example of two similar fingerprints from the two ...
Keywords: fingerprints, narrow sensor, SIFT, All Descriptor-Pair Matching, FISiA. 1. Introduction. Fingerprints have been used as a personal identification tool for a long time because of their uniqueness and time invariance. A fingerprint comprises ridges and valleys that correspond to the dark and white areas in the gray-level image.
other features apart from minutiae for fingerprint recognition. Chen et al [15] propose to reconstruct the fingerprint’s orientation field from minutiae and utilize it in the matching stage to improve the system’s performance. Cao et al [16] have introduced two novel features to deal with non linear distortion in fingerprints.
There is variety of minutia types on fingerprint image as in the below figure but two are mostly s which is the immediate ending of a ridge and the other is called bifurcation, which is the point on the ridge from which two branches derive. Fig. 1 Variety of minutia types on fingerprint image Fingerprint identification system has t matching part.
This study presents advantages of the most important methods of minutiae-based matching algorithm in fingerprint recognition systems. Minutia matching is the most popular approach to fingerprint identification and verification. Fingerprint matching ... and a subset of minutiae in the input fingerprint, through a geometric transformation. a) b ...
The other minutia types, though, differed in a consistent way—FREs thought that these minutia types were more common the second time they estimated the frequency with which they had seen them in fingerprints over the course of their career, resulting in a significant increase in the average estimated minutiae base rates at Time 2 (a ...
alternative light sources are used to view latent fingerprints. These were first used by the FBI in 1978. Since lasers can damage the retina of the eye, special precautions must be taken. 3. Powders—adhere to both water and fatty deposits. Choose a color to contrast with background. 4. Silver nitrate—reacts with chloride to form silver ...

We propose a feedback path for the feature extraction stage, followed by a feature refinement stage for improving the matching performance. This performance improvement is illustrated in the context of a minutia-based fingerprint verification system. We show that a minutia verification stage based on re-examining the gray-scale profile in a detected minutia's spatial neighborhood in the sensed ...
The sequential approach to fingerprint minutia extraction is more or less the state-of-the-art. It is purely a bottom-up process. Not much attention is given to modeling the image formation process or to modeling the object that is imaged (the finger). One aspect of modeling a fingerprint is modeling the minutiae. Oddly enough, al-
Personal authentication through fingerprint matching merely depends on the proper identification of the minutia points of a fingerprint. In this paper, a minutia detection scheme is presented by employing gray scale hit-or-miss transformation. The work focuses exclusively on two widely used minutia points namely ridge bifurcations and ridge ...
Fingerprint recognitions is one of the most popular biometric identification methods. However, most of fingerprint recognition algorithms seen in the literature have the problem of creating false minutia points or not reliably identifying the valid minutia points because of low image quality. This paper proposes a robust minutiae based approach for fingerprint recognition. The image is first ...
