Conclusion
The performance of Automatic Fingerprint Identification
Systems is critically dependent on the quality of input
fingerprint image. Good quality images enhance system’s
performance to be more robust and vice versa. However
unfortunate we can’t deny the fact that it is impossible to
always capture ‘optimal’ quality images. To overcome this
problem image enhancement is carried out. It is not logical
to apply enhancement on every input image as its wastage
of effort for normal /good quality images and time
consuming as well .Most of enhancement algorithm are
applied without taking in account the quality of image. But
studies have proved that different enhancement techniques
are required for dry and oily images as in oily image we
have to highlight valley and in dry image focus is towards
ridge enhancement.
Future Work
It is planned that we will further improve the performance
