Abstract
In this paper the authors present selected stages of an Automated Fingerprint Identification System. The software for the system is developed employing algorithms for two-tone conversion, thinning, feature extraction and matching. Keeping FBI standards into account, it has been assured that no details of the image are lost in the comparison process. We have deployed a general parallel thinning algorithm for specialized images like Fingerprints, and modified the original algorithm after a series of experimentation selecting the one giving the best results. We also proposed an application-based approach for designing Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems keeping in view systems requirements. By using this system, the precision and efficiency of current fingerprint matching techniques are increased.
