ABSTRACT
For identifying the individual person and authorizing the person Fingerprint recognition are used. Many matching
algorithm are used for identifying Fingerprint of an individual. In which the minutiae points are founded and marked
as the Fingerprint template for easy and efficient marking of the minutiae points. Improving the quality of Minutiae
points image processing is done. So that we can mark the minutiae points from the scanned fingerprint to the stored
template and person is identify.
Keywords: fingerprint image processing, minutiae extraction, fingerprint matching, matching score
I. INTRODUCTION
Air travel plays a vital role in day-to-day life. In which
many business class people and passengers used to
travel around the world. In which many smuggling and
forgery are done by smugglers. To avoid this fingerprint
verification technology is being used in the proposed
system to identifying the individuals AFIS (Automatic
Fingerprint Identification System) is used to identifying Figure1: Histogram equalization done for the input fingerprint

security.

In this process the individuals Fingerprint image is
scanned and marked with minutiae points and store in to
the Database along with the passenger personal details.
B. Image Processing :

Ridge Thinning is the one which is used for
reducing the width of the ridges so that marking the
minutiae points will be made easy.

MATCHING SCORE:
In a good quality Fingerprint image template there will
be around 75-85 minutiae points and when considered in
a blurred or latency Fingerprint image there will be
around 30-40 minutiae points. The matching takes place
between the stored template image and the scanned Figure 8. (a) The input image. (b) Histogram equalization done on the input

where m1,m2 are minutiae points on the template and in
the scanned Fingerprint image the points considered as
I={m1,mn} where m1,m2 are the minutiae points on the
input image. The matching is done for these and returns
as score S= (T, I).
MINUTIAE EXTRACTION PROCESS:
Fingerprint matching process, template image is pre-
processed so that the extraction of the minutiae points
can be done easily and efficiently. The extract extraction Figure 9. (A) The mapping of the fingerprint image is done upon the minutiae
