Abstract: In this computerized world, the prominent biometric technique used to recognise a person is known as fingerprint. A systematic combination of ridges, whorls and furrows in the outer layer of finger is known as fingerprint. Fingerprints vary from person to person but permanent. The aim of this paper is to establish fingerprint identification system that is based on the method called minutiae score matching. The process of the system includes image enhancement, binarization, thinning, minutiae score extraction. Image enhancement and binarization techniques are applied on fingerprint image to get good minutiae points. Thinning is used to convert image to one pixel width . Extract the minutiae points from thinned image. Using these points, find the real minutiae points. No match is perfect in both verification and identification. Therefore, biometric systems are designed to check whether match is found or not, based on a threshold value which is a predefined number. The score that is generated by using real minutiae points is compared to threshold value to found a match or no-match.
