COMBINING FINGERPRINTS FOR SECURITY PURPOSE: ENROLLMENT PROCESS

Here a novel system is shown for protecting fingerprints by combining two different fingerprints to a new identity. The enrollment process is executed here in which two different fingerprints are captured. Then extract the minutiae position from one fingerprintand orientation from other fingerprint. Compute reference points from both the fingerprints. After this combine both the fingerprints to form a new identity. By using the existing fingerprint reconstruction technique the fingerprint is reconstructed. Thusa new virtual identity is formed from two different fingerprints. This formed new virtual identity is then stored in database
