Abstract

The paper presents a simple approach for detecting frauds by comparing the finger prints a person live and after death. There are changes occur in the fingerprint after the death of a person. A comparative study is made on the samples (both live and dead samples), in order to find any possible changes in the characteristics of the live and dead fingerprint samples. A set of dead samples are analyzed using various techniques to find the similar properties/characteristics in those samples. Those properties will be compared with the live samples. If any changes in the properties/characteristics of the live and dead samples are identified, then it can be studied thoroughly and can be used to identify whether a given fingerprint was taken when the person was alive or dead. This work will be used for fraud detection.
