Abstract

An efficient method for fingerprint identification is proposed. Fingerprint comparison is usually based on minutiae matching and the efficiency of the matching method is dependent on the extraction of the minutiae. In this method, a simple process has been adopted, wherein the pixel based information is used. The extraction of minutiae is based on the gray level value of pixels as well the neighbouring pixels. Also, this method is adopted for low quality fingerprints, as there is a relative change in the gray level. The computational complexity of the method is comparable with other methods.
