The research paper illustrates the importance of fingerprints detection as biometric technique. The paper elaborates the adopted mechanism used to enhance the fingerprints to have a better image. The research work made use of Matlab as simulation tool for analyzing fingerprints and extracting minutiae points via writing appropriate codes. The input image goes through RGB to Grayscale conversion, canning, whitening boundaries, final segmentation, normalization, and removal of noise, binarization, thinning, and extraction of image ridges.

Fingerprints, image, segmentation, ridges.
