A Novel Thinning Algorithm for Fingerprint Recognition - TI Journals

Abstract: Years ago, many algorithms are published for fingerprint recognition and these algorithms has different accuracy rate. This paper deals with the study of the existing fingerprint recognition algorithms in order to improve the performance of the proposed fingerprint algorithm to develop an efficient novel system. The proposed fingerprint algorithm is concentrated on the improvement of the thinning process. Fingerprint enhancement and minutiae extraction based on optimal thinning. The output results indicate a significant improvement of the fingerprint recognition pattern.
