Feature extraction for fingerprint classification

This paper presents two algorithms for smoothing and feature extraction for fingerprint classification. Deutsch's(2) Thinning algorithm (rectangular array) is used for thinning the digitized fingerprint (binary version). A simple algorithm is also suggested for classifying the fingerprints. Experimental results obtained using such algorithms are presented.
