Fingerprint Identification as Access Control System

摘要

An access control system by fingerprints is one of the most widely spread biometric techniques linked with ensuring the security of the enterprise. The uniqueness of fingerprints is something staying unchanged during the whole life. For example, such features as the face shape, manner of walking may change over time time but fingerprints will not. However, the fingerprint itself can give an image of a bad quality because of the state of the skin, bad impression, dirty surface of the finger, etc. That's why, the methods for image enhancement should be implemented to get more accurate results. This study discusses reliable techniques and propose a reliable algorithm of the fingerprint image enhancement for the access control system to be applied as a part of the security system in the company.
