Image segmentation is a technique by which a digital image is divided into various smaller regions called Image segments. This helps to reduce the complexity of the image to make further processing of the image simpler. A fingerprint is an impression left on any object by the friction ridges of a human finger. Human fingerprints are unique, difficult to alter, and durable over the life period. They may be employed by police to identify individuals identity. This paper gives a detailed review of various segmentation techniques of fingerprint.
