 Agenda
• Introduction
1. Fingerprint pattern
2. Goal of this method
• Feature extraction
• Recognition
 Goal of this method
• There are number of people whose
fingerprints could not be identified by the
feature based methods due to special skin
condition ,where feature points are hard to
be extracted by image processing.
• To solve this issue ,this paper uses hybrid
system using optical wave processing .
 Fingerprint patterns
• A fingerprint is an impression of the friction ridges of all
or any part of the finger.A friction ridge is a raised portion
of the epidermis on the palmer (palm) or digits (fingers
and toes) or plantar (sole) skin consisting of one or more
connected ridge units of friction ridge skin.
• Fingerprint recognition involves requires the comparison
of several features of the print pattern. These include
patterns, which are aggregate characteristics of ridges and
minutia points which are unique features found within the
patterns.
 Minutia features
• The three basic patterns of
fingerprint ridges are the • In whorl,ridges form

of the finger, rise in the finger.
center forming an arc
• . The loop is a pattern Bifurcation Short ridge
where the ridges enter from
one side of a finger, form a
curve, and tend to exit from
the same side they enter.
Correlation
• Correlation is a
statistical technique
that can show whether
and how strongly pairs
of variables are
related. This relation is
calculated using
correlation factor.
Correlation factor
• The correlation
coefficient, r, ranges from
-1 to +1.
• Processing of fingerprint
is done using correlator.
• A coherent light beam is
used to focus on the print
and the image beam is
focused on the convex
lens to produce waveform
of same transform.
Processing system
• The major part in this
recognition is conversion of
the RGB format into gray
shades.
• While doing this
corresponding filtering is done.
• The intensity of the gray shade
denotes whether the image is a
bright coloured image or light
colored image.
• The gray shade distribution is
noted in a histogram called
color histogram.
Histogram Processing
• Once the histogram is
plotted , the intensity of
light at geometric center
and at some points(x,y)
are noted.(denoted in
cyan)
• The intensity and pixel
values are plotted in a
linear graph,this is called
as scalar plot.
• This will act as template.
 Sample recognition
• When a sample is to be recognized,the processing
methods are employed for generating a scalar
plot.
• Based on these correlation factor calculated from
this graph ,fingerprint is diagnosed.
1. If the correlation factor is 0 ,then there is no
similarity.
2. If the correlation factor is between 0 and 1 ,then
there is an equivalent increase of both parameters.
