Region of Interest Segmentation Algorithm for Fingerprint

Abstract

In this research is implemented segmentation algorithm for the region of interest of fingerprint recognition automatically. In auto finger print identification system, It is difficult to notice similarity for fingerprints because the discontinues spots in fingerprint pattern, bifurcations, lakes, independent ridges, dots and islands
and crossover. Thus image enhancement techniques are employed prior to minutiae extraction to obtain a more reliable to estimation of minutiae locations. The normalization fingerprint minutiae extraction has been developed using MATLAB programs and this give very good results in terms of enhancement and accuracy
