Fingerprints provide sufficient and reliable discriminative characteristics which have been
considered one of the most robust evidence for individualization. The limitation of current …

Biometrics is the automatic identification of an individual that is based on physiological or
behavioural characteristics. Due to its security-related applications and the current world …

Biometric recognition, or simply biometrics, refers to the use of distinctive anatomical and/or
behavioral characteristics or identifiers (eg, fingerprints, face, iris, voice, and hand geometry) …

The field of fingerprinting for personal identification and criminal investigation is progressing
at a rapid rate. Numerous research projects are devoted to fingerprint detection techniques …

Covering a range of fundamental topics essential to modern forensic investigation, the fifth
edition of the landmark text Forensic Science: An Introduction to Scientific and Investigative …

In this paper, we propose to use the fingerprint valley instead of ridge for the binarization-
thinning process to extract fingerprint minutiae. We first use several preprocessing steps on …

In this paper, we introduce a new approach to fingerprint classification based on extraction
and analysis of both singularities and traced pseudo ridges relating to singular points …

Most fingerprint recognition techniques are based on minutiae matching and have been well
studied. However, this technology still suffers from problems associated with the handling of …

Proposes a new method of personal recognition based on footprints. In this method, an input
pair of raw footprints is normalized, both in direction and in position for robustness image …

Biometrics identification methods proved to be very efficient, more natural and easy for users
than traditional methods of human identification. In fact, only biometrics methods truly …
