Image Processing Techniques for Fingerprint Authentication

• Abstract: User authentication refers to the process of verifying the identity of a user. This is becoming an important security requirement in various embedded systems. This project investigates the problem of supporting efficient fingerprint-based user authentication in embedded systems. There are two types of finger-based authentication techniques: graph-based and minutaie-based. In this project students will concentrate on the latter because minutiae are widely believed to be the most discriminating and reliable features of a fingerprint.
