DESCRIPTION
Nowadays the use of identification methods of people that have a superior
performance than the traditional methods, which are based on techniques like:
password memorization, use of unique elements (keys), etc. have gave an incentive
to the research on verification systems based on biological patterns of the
individuals. This methods use the basic idea that this biological patterns are different
from each person. In particular fingerprints have been used as a unique
characteristic of the people during more than twenty centuries, since they were
introduced for the first time by the old Chinese. This is the only biometric
characteristic that has been largely accepted in most of the countries for his use on
courts like a valid criterion to accuse a defendant.
The implementation of an algorithm that allows the enhancement of the fingerprint
images that have been digitalized using an optical system is been develops in this
Undergraduate thesis. This algorithm reconstructs regions of the image that were not
correctly acquired by the sensor system. These images can be use in a subsequent
verification system, which will improve considerably his performance since in general
these systems are really dependant of the quality of the images that are introduced.
Undergraduate thesis as a partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Electronic
Engineering
