Pradeep Kumar Reddy Journal on Pattern Recognition 2350-112X 1 2 16 23 ROI (Region of Interest), AFIS (Automatic Fingerprint Identification System), Minutiae, Geometric Mean and Classification With the increase in technology threats to personal data, security has been increased. There was a need to introduce a technology that secures our data more efficiently from other unlawful intervention. Automatic Fingerprint Recognition Systems are more powerful and widely used for criminal identification and authentication. Automatic fingerprint recognition is an extremely critical process, especially in low quality and rotation invariant inked and scanned fingerprints because of the quality of ink and the way of finger impression on the surface of the paper or scanner. In this paper, an efficient real time fingerprint identification system for inked fingerprints has been addressed. This method ensures the quality of the fingerprint with greater matching reliability and efficiency. June - August 2014 Copyright © 2014 i-manager publications.
