A Review on Minutiae Extraction of Fingerprint

This paper discuss methods to identify minutiae or ridges consist of deciding whether the pixel evaluated belongs to same person true ridges or otherwise. A lot of researchers proposed an algorithm or a technique for the minutiae extraction. Normally, the minutiae such as ridge ending and bifurcation detection are based on segment neighboring ridges and false minutiae detection is based on directional of ridges block pixel.  In this paper, a survey for describing minutiae detection has been conducted.  This survey result is not only to identify similarities and differences of the approaches, but also to identify requiring further research.
