A Survey on Fingerprint Recognition System

Fingerprints have been widely accepted throughout the world and is considered to be the most prominent biometric. Several robust techniques have been developed for fingerprint matching and identification. This paper discusses some state-of-the-art techniques of fingerprint identification or recognition using pattern matching. In The paper we are showing classifies the recognition techniques based on ridge lines and minutiae points. All fingerprint identification using pattern matching technique can be divided into the encoding phase which is to map the fingerprint to the pattern and then matching the input pattern with the template pattern.
