Description
Summary:This independent study is the first attempt to study the Biometrics field and focusing on Fingerprint Verification System. Fingerprint technology is the leading biometric authentication technology in use today with the greatest variety of fingerprint devices presently available. This is partly due to the historical use of the fingerprint in law enforcement as well as the technology lends itself to a more affordable solution. There are several processes that will be applied to verify the fingerprint. The fingerprint image will need to go through some preprocessing methods such as binarization and thinning in order to ensure the precision and reliability of the image. For the feature extraction process, we need to locate the core point by looking for an occurrence of a template in the verification image. For this IS project, I will study on the method use in detecting the core point by tracing the edge along the ridge.
