Biometric Feature based Person Unique Identification System

Abstract

A wide variety of systems require reliable and accurate personal identification system. Major goal of such systems is to provide access of an application to legitimate users only. Such a set of applications include, but not limited to, banking applications, military applications, hospital applications, digital library. Majority of systems have started shifting towards biometric features of human beings for personal unique identification. Most popular biometric feature used is Thumbprint or thumb impression. Various researchers have come out with different solutions, albeit partially best, for personal identification based on thumb impression. However there exists no single solution that encompasses best of all & provides collectively a better solution. An effort is made in this paper to perform exactly the same based on experimental setup, findings, & analysis. Features of biometric characteristics of thumb print are extracted and stored into the database in text format. The matching algorithm uses these text formatted features for matching purpose & identification.
