New Approach Towards Efficient Biometric Systems

Abstract

Fingerprints possess two main types of features that are used for automatic fingerprint identification and verification: (i) Ridge and Furrow structure that forms a special pattern in the central region of the fingerprint and (ii) Minutiae details associated with the local ridge and furrow structure. In a traditional biometric recognition system, the biometric template is usually stored on a central server during enrollment. The candidate biometric template captured by the biometric device is sent to the server where the processing and matching steps are performed. The proposed work presents an approach to the processing time during fingerprint matching process in a Biometric System. The proposed work is based upon four major classifications of fingerprint, whorl, arch, left-loop and right-loop and is more efficient as compared with the existing system.
