Every person is believed to have unique fingerprints. This makes fingerprint matching one of the most reliable methods for identifying people. In this diploma work shall be examined if and how the identification can be done automatically by a software system.Examples of use: Criminal identification, control for high security installations, credit card usage verification, and employee identification.
The program to be developed should extract the minutiae (ridge endings, bifurcation points, etc.) from a fingerprint bitmap file and create a compact, unique dataset. This dataset is then stored in a database or compared with one of the database. The goal is to recognize if the person whom the fingerprint belongs to is present in the database.The product should run under WindowsXP and WindowsNT. The fingerprints are present in the form of Windows-Bitmap-Files, which are created with a scanner from printed pictures. The software should have the following properties:
· Reading a bitmap file and show it on the screen.
· Building a dataset by extracting the minutiae.
· Showing the original bitmap with the marked minutiae on the screen.
· Storing the dataset in the database.
· Comparing a dataset with those in the database.
· Giving out the search result.
If there is a match, showing the stored fingerprint on the screen for optical comparison.Java Finger Print
INTRODUCTION:
This article describes a Fingerprint implementation in your .NET project. If you are trying to implement Fingerprint functionality in your .NET project then you are at right place. The coding for Fingerprint is written in visual basic and provided you as an ActiveX control, and the implementation code is written in VB.NET. Background There was a project under development, which I joined from middle, after some days i was assigned with a module of that project which was implementing fingerprint using IZZIX fingerprint device and drivers. I had no clue and no resource to go for and get help from it. Then i went through the working idea and implementation of Fingerprint. I read lots of articles but not enough help was provided. After lots of research and Development, developed ActiveX control. As i was keen to develop a such control that you just include in your project and you don’t need to write API coding. Just use some VB.NET functions and Threading, and you get your goal. Finally an ActiveX was ready to use.
