...Elliott CRJ 202 Mr. Scott March 11, 14 Fingerprints For over a century, law enforcement agencies, forensic laboratories, and penal courts worldwide have used fingerprint impressions as reliable and conclusive evidence to identify perpetrators of criminal activity. Although fingerprint identification has been repeatedly proven as one of the most robust and definite forensic techniques, a measure of the rate at which latent fingerprints degrade over time has not been established effectively. Ideally, criminal investigators should be able not only to place any given individual at a crime scene but also be able to date the moment any latent fingerprints were deposited at the location. The present report aims to determine particular visual patterns of degradation of latent fingerprints exposed to certain monitored laboratory conditions simulating those in the field. Factors considered include temperature, relative humidity, air currents, composition of fingerprint depositions (sebaceous and eccrine), various exposures to daylight (direct, penumbra, and darkness), and type of physical substrate (glass and plastic) over a period of 6 months. The study employs a titanium dioxide-based powder as developer. Our results indicate that, contrary to common belief, certain latent fingerprints exposed to direct sunlight indoors degrade similarly to those in the dark where environmental conditions are more constant. While all sebaceous latent fingerprints on glass are still useful for identification...

...Fingerprints Fingerprints have always been a form of identification. This is probably the reason why fingerprints have supplanted most methods of identifying criminals that deny ever being arrested or even committing the crime. Identifying fingerprints has become a science and it also stands out to many other forensic sciences ( www.onin.com). The science of fingerprints, has helped many governments around the world, presenting them with correct discovery of criminals There are millions of people on this planet and never have 2 fingerprints been found that are alike within humans and automated computer comparisons (www.onin.com). No 2 humans have the same finger, palm or footprint. These parts of the human body have ridges that are constantly broken up by endings or forks; these are called characteristics (www.south-wales.police.uk). Every person has unique distributions of the characteristics that build up in womb and throughout life in general, these characteristics stay the same for a time after death too so it makes identifying a body possible People have often tried to alter their fingerprints with different methods like cutting their fingerprints, burning the skin with acid but that doesn’t work because, superficial skin damage is repaired by the body so the same ridges come back with the new skin that forms Fingerprints are formed by our skin and our skin is made out of two layers, dermis and epidermis. The epidermis is a thin layer and it is a protective cover...

...Anatomy of Fingerprints The two fundamental principles of fingerprint identification are that fingerprints are permanent and unique in its nature. This states that fingerprints never change and no two fingerprints are the same (The Basics of Fingerprint Science, 2014). Fingerprints attain their unalterable shape before birth and remain the same for a lifetime unless a permanent scar appears. That is why fingerprints are accepted as a substantial proof of identity which is exclusive to their owner (Azimi, 2013). The practice of utilizing fingerprints as a mean of identification is referred as dactyloscopy, which is an indispensable aid to modern law enforcement (Hoover, 2016). The significance of fingerprint was discovered in late 19th century. Before then, people regarded fingerprints as ordinary curves without any specific importance or meaning. In Quran, Allah points to the fingertips which did not attract anyone’s attention at that time, and calls our attention to their importance in the fourth verse of surah Al-Qiyamah. The verse states “Yes, we are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers.” (Azimi, 2013) Formation of fingerprints Fingerprint is an impression made by the papillary ridges on the ends of the fingers. It afford an infallible means of personal identification, because the ridge arrangement on every finger of every human being is unique and does not alter with growth or age. It also serve to reveal an individual’s true identity despite...

...becoming the foundation for highly secure identification and personal verification solutions./ Biometric applications have the potential to offer much more robust authentication/identification security than traditional systems (eg: passwords or pass codes ,PINs , tokens). The main goal of applying biometrics to user authentication is to provide security to users and detect imposters in terms of users physiological (e.g. fingerprint, face, iris, hand) or behavioural characteristics (e.g. speech, keystroke dynamics). Owing to the unique biometric characteristic that every person possesses, utilization of the same can be done in a form of identity access management. Ever since their inception, Fingerprint based biometric authentication and verification systems have gained immense popularity and acceptance. This is primarily because of the ease of operation, installation and easy acquisition of the biometric feature, which in this case is a fingerprint. Implementing fingerprint recognition system is secure to use since the uniqueness of one’s fingerprint does not change in user’s lifetime. The popularity of mobile devices is undeniable. According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), more smartphones were sold in 2012 than desktop and laptop computers combined. This rise may be due to increasing functionality and technological advances which in turn supports greater functionality. Thus, the frequency with which smartphone owners use their devices, these devices ...

...be very laborious using the conventional method of paper sheets and old file system method. Every corporate organization poses some standards concerning how attendance is to be confirmed for staff in offices. This is to enable the management of the organization identify those staff that are punctual and competent, that is why keeping the accurate record of attendance is very important. Also in institutions, tracking and monitoring staff time of attendance could pose a tedious task, time consuming and as well prone to errors. As an alternative to the traditional manual clocking process by staff in offices, biometrics characteristics can be used for authenticating staff. This research will focus on developing a Fingerprint based Biometric Clocking System. The fingerprint Biometrics is adopted in this research work due to the fact that it is one of the most successful applications of biometric technology. In the manual signing processes, where a sheet of paper is placed at the entrance of the office for staff to write their names and signature as a form of confirming their presence for a particular day in the office, falsification in staff attendance mostly occur. A situation whereby a staff can sign on behalf of his or her colleague as being present in the office when that is not true. This can be so difficult to prevent from happening especially for large offices where row count can take longer time. The trending concern in this modern age is regarding national security, identifying...

...Two Different Area Where The Fingerprint Identify System Be Used One of the area that used fingerprint scanner is in Hospital. This technology could help with the complex issue of positive patient identification. The first implementation of fingerprint identification was a standalone system in a single methadone clinic. It was that the hospital system had an opportunity to work out some of the initial issue with the system and to watch the technology mature, according to Catholic Health System Vice President of IT Jeff Baughan. The staff and the patient are asked to register via the “Personal Touch System.” After they registered, they can use their fingerprint to identify their identity. This provides much more consistency in patient identification than usually exists. This also an addition to assuring positive patient identification which is one of the main benefit of the product. Another benefit of the fingerprint identification system is that it can help to eliminate fraud. As a nonprofit, faith-based institution. By the way, the patient privacy is more secure. The patient’s information and personal details are protected by just the few hastily thought-out numbers in our passwords. Hospital use fingerprint scanner to replace password to improve their efficiency in the medical field. This device allows the doctors to access medical records by swiping simply their fingers rather than typing passwords. This device brings a lot of benefit for the patients who are suffer in...

...Sherman Alexie ENG 150 – Critical Analysis Assignment Fingerprints Recently, I was introduced to a man named Sherman Alexie. See, what I liked about Sherman from the beginning was the dissimilarity we shared. Too often, as a society we get so caught up in the bait of commonality that we forget it’s the differences that make us individuals. His family was not like mine. The significant values that shape a young man’s life, like Sherman’s and mine, were founded on different life experiences and were respected on unfamiliar levels. I came to see he loved differently and for different reasons. He esteemed for different reasons and his perception on life was remarkable yet understated. Sherman had a way of seeing things… the realness he bestowed was astonishing, but more importantly, he was able to help me see differently too. You’re asking, “Where did you meet this Sherman Alexie?” The answer to that question is difficult to state because I feel like I’ve known him my whole life, but I doubt he’d say the same of me. The Absolutely True Story of a Part Time Indian is a novel by Sherman Alexie written for anyone willing to read it. It displays his inner deepest thoughts through the story of a young man named Junior. The great thing about being introduced to a man through his work is that he reveals himself to you through nothing but the deepest and best thoughts; and Sherman had many. Sherman Alexie was a Native American who grew up on a reservation in Spokane...

...1 Learning Fingerprint Reconstruction: From Minutiae to Image Kai Cao and Anil K. Jain, Fellow, IEEE Abstract—The set of minutia points is considered to be the most distinctive feature for fingerprint representation and is widely used in fingerprint matching. It was believed that the minutiae set does not contain sufficient information to reconstruct the original fingerprint image from which minutiae were extracted. However, recent studies have shown that it is indeed possible to reconstruct fingerprint images from their minutiae representations. Reconstruction techniques demonstrate the need for securing fingerprint templates, improve the template interoperability and improve fingerprint synthesis. But, there is still a large gap between the matching performance obtained from original fingerprint images and their corresponding reconstructed fingerprint images. In this paper, the prior knowledge about fingerprint ridge structures is encoded in terms of orientation patch and continuous phase patch dictionaries to improve the fingerprint reconstruction. The orientation patch dictionary is used to reconstruct the orientation field from minutiae, while the continuous phase patch dictionary is used to reconstruct the ridge pattern. Experimental results on three public domain databases (FVC2002 DB1 A, FVC2002 DB2 A and NIST SD4) demonstrate that the proposed reconstruction algorithm outperforms the stateof-the-art reconstruction algorithms in terms of both i) spurious ...

...(IJCSIS) International Journal of Computer Science and Information Security, Vol. 10, No. 3, March 2012 An Efficient Automatic Attendance System Using Fingerprint Reconstruction Technique Josphineleela.R Dr.M.Ramakrishnan Research scholar Department of Computer Science and Engineering Sathyabamauniversity Chennai,India ilanleela@yahoo.com Professor/HOD-IT Velammal Engineering College Chennai,India ramkrishod@gmail.com Abstract— Biometric time and attendance system is one of the most successful applications of biometric technology. One of the main advantage of a biometric time and attendance system is it avoids "buddy-punching". Buddy punching was a major loophole which will be exploiting in the traditional time attendance systems. Fingerprint recognition is an established field today, but still identifying individual from a set of enrolled fingerprints is a time taking process. Most fingerprint-based biometric systems store the minutiae template of a user in the database. It has been traditionally assumed that the minutiae template of a user does not reveal any information about the original fingerprint. This belief has now been shown to be false; several algorithms have been proposed that can reconstruct fingerprint images from minutiae templates. In this paper, a novel fingerprint reconstruction algorithm is proposed to reconstruct the phase image, which is then converted into the grayscale image. The proposed reconstruction algorithm ...
