The fingerprint is acquired from a fingerprint scanner.
Image is improved (better contrast and distinctness).
Noise and defects are eliminated.
Fingerprint features are detected and analyzed.
Minutiae are identified.

Bifurcation

Fingerprint search on database is made based on some measures; so polygons are determined connecting 3 minutiae. Thus, internal angles, sides and each minutia angle are computed. These measures are invariant to rotation and translation.

This method allows that a desired fingerprint can be localized on database even with position variation (displacement and rotation) in relation to the found fingerprint.
