Biometric characteristics helps to recognize an individual among others. Each individual has a unique biometric feature. So, an automated system is designed to recognize an individual. In today’s growing AI development, biometric recognition is applied in many security systems. One of oldest and widely used authentic biometric methodology is fingerprint recognition. Many fingerprint recognition algorithms are designed and developed in order to reduce error rate and to improve accuracy. In this paper, a comprehensive review is presented on various techniques used for fingerprint recognition system along with their performance and their limitations. The purpose of this paper is to review various recent work on the fingerprint recognition system, to explain step by step the steps for recognizing fingerprints, and to provide summaries of the fingerprint databases with functionality

Fingerprint recognition systems are widely used in the field of biometrics. Many existing fingerprint sensors acquire fingerprint images as the user's fingerprint is contacted on a solid flat sensor. Because of this contact, input images from the same finger can be quite different and there are latent fingerprint issues that can lead to forgery and hygienic problems. For these reasons, a touchless fingerprint recognition system has been investigated, in which a fingerprint image can be captured without contact. While this system can solve the problems which arise through contact of the user's finger, other challenges emerge.

There are many people who suffer from some of the skin diseases. These diseases have a strong influence on the process of fingerprint recognition. People with fingerprint diseases are unable to use fingerprint scanners, which is discriminating for them, since they are not allowed to use their fingerprints for the authentication purposes. First in this paper the various diseases, which might influence functionality of the fingerprint-based systems, are introduced, mainly from the medical point of view. This overview is followed by some examples of diseased finger fingerprints, acquired both from dactyloscopic card and electronic sensors. At the end of this paper the proposed fingerprint image enhancement algorithm is described.

Fingerprint image feature extraction is a critical step to fingerprint recognition system, which studies topological structure, mathematical model and extraction algorithm of fingerprint feature. This paper presents system design and realization of feature extraction algorithm for fingerprint image. On the basis of fingerprint skeleton image, feature points including ending points, bifurcation points and singular points are extracted at first. Then false feature points are detected and eliminated by the violent changes of ambient orientation field. True feature points are marked at last. Test result shows that the method presented has good accuracy, quick speed and strong robustness for realtime application.

The performance of biometric systems can be improved by combining multiple units through score level fusion. In this paper, different fusion rules based on match scores are comparatively studied for multi-unit fingerprint recognition. A novel fusion model for multi-unit system is presented first. Based on this model, we analyze the five common score fusion rules: sum, max, min, median and product. Further, we propose a new method: square. Note that the performance of these strategies can complement each other, we introduce the mixed rule: square-sum. We prove that square-sum rule outperforms square and sum rules. The experimental results show good performance of the proposed methods.

Fingerprint image segmentation is an important pre-processing step in automatic fingerprint recognition system. A well-designed fingerprint segmentation technique can improve the accuracy in collecting clear fingerprint area and mark noise areas. The traditional grey variance segmentation method is widely and easily used, but it can hardly segment fingerprints with low contrast of high noise. To overcome the low image contrast, combining two-block feature; mean of gradient magnitude and coherence, where the fingerprint image is segmented into background, foreground or noisy regions,  has been done. Except for the noisy regions in the foreground, there are still such noises existed in the background whose coherences are low, and are mistakenly assigned as foreground. A novel segmentation method based on combination local mean of grey-scale and local variance of gradient magnitude is presented in this paper. The proposed extraction begins with normalization of the fingerprint. Then, it is<span style="text-decoration: line-through;"> </span>followed by foreground region separation from the background. Finally, the gradient coherence approach is used to detect the noise regions existed in the foreground. Experimental results on NIST-Database14 fingerprint images indicate that the proposed method gives the impressive results.

<span lang="EN-US">Nowadays, the fingerprint identification system is the most exploited sector of biometric. Fingerprint image segmentation is considered one of its first processing stage. Thus, this stage affects typically the feature extraction and matching process which leads to fingerprint recognition system with high accuracy. In this paper, three major steps are proposed. First, Soble and TopHat filtering method have been used to improve the quality of the fingerprint images. Then, for each local block in fingerprint image, an accurate separation of the foreground and background region is obtained by K-means clustering for combining 5-dimensional characteristics vector (variance, difference of mean, gradient coherence, ridge direction and energy spectrum). Additionally, in our approach, the local variance thresholding is used to reduce computing time for segmentation. Finally, we are combined to our system DBSCAN clustering which has been performed in order to overcome the drawbacks of K-means classification in fingerprint images segmentation. The proposed algorithm is tested on four different databases. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach is significantly efficacy against some recently published techniques in terms of separation between the ridge and non-ridge region.</span>

Fingerprint enhancement is an essential preprocessing step and it is crucial for the efficiency of fingerprint recognition algorithm. We present an enhancement algorithm based on fast discrete curvelet transform (FDCT). First, implement positive transform on input image, namely decompose the image into coarse scales and fine scales coefficients. Then make use of a directional filter and a soft threshold function to enhance image and reduce noise respectively. Finally, implement inverse transform, and reconstruct the enhanced image. Experiments are carried out on FVC2004 databases. For bad quality fingerprints, the results indicate that the proposed algorithm has better enhancement and de-noising effect than traditional methods, and need less time.

The security and privacy of biometric data in multibiometric systems has become a hot research topic. In this paper, a singular value decomposition (SVD) and fast discrete curvelet transform (FDCuT)-based watermarking scheme for authenticity of fingerprint image using watermark speech signal has been proposed and analyzed. This scheme also provides security to watermark speech signal, which is inserted into the fingerprint image. This proposed scheme has a number of steps including fingerprint image authentication using watermark speech signal. The human speech signal is taken as secret watermark information and inserting into the human fingerprint image in the proposed scheme. The singular value of high frequency curvelet coefficients of the host fingerprint image is modified according to watermark speech signal to get secured and watermarked fingerprint image. The analysis results show that the performance of fingerprint recognition system is not affected by inserted watermark speech signal into host fingerprint image.
