BIOMETRIC FINGERPRINT SYSTEMS

Pattern recognition is the scientific discipline whose goal is the classification of objects into a number of categories or classes. Depending on the application, these objects can be images or signal wave forms or any type of measurements that need to be classified. We will refer to these objects using the generic term patterns. Pattern recognition has a long history, but before the 1960s it was mostly the output of theoretical research in the area of statistics. As with everything else, the advent of computers increased the demand for practical applications of pattern recognition, which in turn set new demands for further theoretical developments. As our society evolves from the industrial to its postindustrial phase, automation in industrial production and the need for information handling and retrieval are becoming increasingly important. This trend has pushed pattern recognition to the high edge of today's engineering applications and research. Pattern recognition is an integral part of most machine intelligence systems built for decision making.
The knowledge of finding out the identity of a distinct entity based on the physical, behavioral or chemical characteristics of a person is called Biometrics. It originates from two words bios (means life) and Merton (means measure). The biometrics is mostly used for employing the identity management in wide-ranging situations in which precise individual identification is fundamental.
           Some of the biometric applications are employed in situations where the networks are being shared between the users, in electronically business deals (such as e-shopping and ATM stations) and in any other commercial transactions.
           The identity identification may be essential for a variety of factors though the major goal, in most programs, will be to avert invaders from penetrating to the covered property. Three ways of creating a person’s identity comprise the following mechanism
