ABSTRACT

Fingerprint recognition refers to the automated method of identifying or confirming the identity of an individual based on the comparison of two fingerprints. Fingerprint recognition is one of the most well known biometrics, and it is by far the most used biometric solution for authentication on computerized systems."Fingerprint authentication" describes the process of obtaining a digital representation of a fingerprint and comparing it to a stored digital version of a fingerprint. Electronic fingerprint scanners capture digital "pictures" of fingerprints, either based on light reflections of the finger 's ridges and valleys, ultrasonic, or the electrical properties of the finger 's ridges and valleys. These pictures are then processed into digital templates that contain the unique extracted features of a finger. These digital fingerprint templates can be stored in databases and used in place of traditional passwords for secure access. The scanner, or reader, compares the live fingerprint to the fingerprint template stored in a database to determine the identity and validity of the person requesting access. In the proposed system, the finger print is recognized and viewed in the PC. The recognized finger print is transmitted through ZIGBEE with UART(universal asynchronous receiver and transmitter) in transmitting side. The finger print is transferred through another ZIGBEE with UART (universal asynchronous receiver and transmitter) in receiving side and viewed
