Fingerprint recognition is a biometric identification technology that distinguishing whether two fingerprints are the same fingerprint. The theory of fingerprint recognition is finding out minutiae (bifurcation and ridge) of two fingerprints, comparing them depend on their direction, local position and type.

This project is Fingerprint recognition system. It is a computer programming that will work the same fingerprint theory.

Fingerprint recognition system will implement fingerprint recognition theory base one image pre-processing technique and image recognition technique. This is the basic theory of my project:

pre-processing

• Normalization
• Orientation estimation
• Edge detection
• Ridge detection
• Thinning
• Minutiae extration

Recognition

• Matching
