Abstract:
In this project a fingerprint based security system has been developed for a department
utilizing the Fingerprint verification in order to validate the authorized persons. The image
acquisition is done using an optical fingerprint reader. The acquired fingerprint image is
visually enhanced, segmented and saved as a template composed of extracted fingerprint
features. This template generation is performed as modular programming in software. The
template is then compared with the templates present in the database, which were acquired
and processed beforehand. This database also contains the requisite information of
authorized persons which in turn can be used for multipurpose applications. In the end the
information about the authorized person or the intruder will be displayed at the output unit
attached to the system.
