Biometric Security Using Finger Print Recognition Subhra Mazumdar, Venkata Dhulipala University of California, San Diego Abstract–Our goal is to implement finger print recognition on the PXA27x DVK platform in view of increasing popularity of biometric security for digital handheld devices. To this end we are using Siemens ID Mouse finger print capture device mentioned in [5] that scans the finger print and gives out a high quality image while maintaining sub-pixel geometric accuracy. This image will then be stored and processed to extract the critical pixel information (minutiae). Subsequent scans on any finger print other than that of the authorized user(s) will be disallowed. A secure process will be then forked based on the authorization. The image recognition algorithm has to be highly precise and also efficient enough to enable accurate instantaneous access. 1. Project Background The analysis of fingerprints for matching purposes generally requires the comparison of several features of the print pattern. These include patterns, which are aggregate characteristics of ridges, and minutia points, which are unique features found within the patterns. It is also necessary to know the structure and properties of human skin in order to successfully employ some of the imaging technologies. The three basic patterns of fingerprint ridges are the arch, loop, and whorl. An arch is a pattern where the ridges enter from one side of the finger, rise in the center forming an arc, and then exit the other side of the finger. The loop is a pattern where the ridges enter from one side of a finger, form a curve, and tend to exit from the same side they enter. In the whorl pattern, ridges form circularly around a central point on the finger. 1.1 Fingerprint sensors A fingerprint sensor details of which can found in [4] captures the digital image of a fingerprint pattern called live scan.
