Preprocessing Algorithim for Digital Fingerprint Image Recognition

Abstract

Biometrics is one of the most used technologies in the field of security due to its reliability and performance. It is based on several physical human characteristics but the most used technology is the fingerprint recognition, and since we must carry out an image processing to be able to exploit the data in each fingerprint we propose in this article an image preprocessing procedure in order to improve its quality before extracting the necessary information for the comparison phase.
