LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Introduction to Fingerprint Recognition Fingerprint recognition is to distinguish between two human fingerprints. In order to match two fingerprints, several features of the print pattern are required including ridges and minutia points. Ridges contain three basic patterns which are arch, loop and whorl. Fingerprint recognition has become one of the most important and popular identification technique nowadays because of the accuracy of this technique is very high and the current fingerprint recognition system is sufficient for the identification and verification system that involve more than hundred users. (Anil K. Jain, Arun Ross, Salil Prabhakar, 2004)
2.2 Fingerprint Recognition System In fingerprint recognition system, there are three sub-domains, which are enrollment, verification and identification. Enrollment is the process which the user’s fingerprint data will be collected via a specific sensor and store into database after some processing. In verification mode, a captured fingerprint will be compared to the template stored in the database to validate a person’s identify. This is so call one-to-one comparison. The purpose of verification is to prevent different person using the same identify. While for identification mode, the system will conduct a one-to-many comparisons to identify a person’s identity. The system will use the captured fingerprint to match all of the fingerprint templates in the database to identify an
