Abstract :
In this paper we introduce a fingerprint recognition system based on cellular neural networks (CNN) algorithms. This system is divided into three parts. First, the fingerprint image is enhanced then ridgeline is thinned. Finally matching is employed. Fingerprint thinning is proposed by employing a new approach using CNN. Simulation result shows the effectiveness of the proposed method.
