Fingerprint Verification Based On Image

Abstract

this paper the problem of fingerprint verification via the Internet is investigated. Specifically, the method that is used for the above purpose is based on a traditional finger scanning technique, involving the analysis of small unique marks of the finger image known as minutiae. Minutiae points are the ridge endings or bifurcations branches of the finger image. The relative position of these minutiae is used for comparison, and according to empirical studies, two individuals will not have eight or more common minutiae. [1,2]. A typical live-scan fingerprint will contain 30-40 minutiae. Other systems analyze tiny sweat pores on the finger that, in the same way as minutiae, are uniquely positioned. Furthermore, such methods may be subject to attacks by hackers when biometric features are transferred via Internet [3
