Fingerprint recognition is widely used in security systems to recognize humans. In both industry and scientific literature, many fingerprint identification systems were developed using different techniques and approaches. Although the number of conducted research works in this field, developed systems suffer for some limitations partially those related the real time computation and fingerprint ...

According to the number of Internet in widely use and the development of the related application, the need of security system which can protect individual information has increased. Biometrics-based user authentication has several advantages over traditional password-based systems for standalone authentication applications. However, security of biometric data is particularly important as the co...

With the wide spread utilization of biometric identification systems, establishing the authenticity of biometric data itself has emerged as an important research issue. We present a fingerprint image watermarking method that can embed facial information into host fingerprint images. This scheme has the advantage that in addition to fingerprint matching, the recovered face during the decoding ca...

There are various algorithms and technique whicg gave the accurate results for the fingerprint recognition system. For enhancing the performance and accuracy of biometric fingerprint recognition system ...

A synthetic fingerprint generation method is presented and implemented in this paper. A new combination model for the orientation field of fingerprint is applied to generate more realistic fingerprint direction map, and a new expression of the fingerprint density map is presented. Then a modified Gabor filter is used for ridge pattern generation. This method consists of two main processes: Firs...

Biometric features such as face, iris, voice, retina, handwriting and fingerprint plays an important role in security for authentication. Among biometrics, fingerprint systems have been one of most widely researched and deployed because of their easy access and low price of fingerprint sensors. Nowadays, for personal identification automatic fingerprint recognition is preferred due to their rel...

Extensive research of automatic fingerprint identification system (AFIS), although started in the early 1960s, has not yet give the answer to reliable fingerprint recognition problem. A critical step for AFIS accuracy is reliable extraction of features (mostly minutiae) from the input fingerprint image. However, the effectiveness of a feature extraction relies heavily on the quality of the inpu...
