Personal identification system based on pass word
and other entities are ineffective. Nowadays biometric based
systems are used for human identification in almost many
real time applications. The current state-of-art biometric
identification focuses on accuracy and hence a good
performance result in terms of response time on small scale
database is achieved. But in today’s real life scenario biometric
database are huge and without any intelligent scheme the
response time should be high, but the existing algorithms
requires an exhaustive search on the database which increases
proportionally when the size of the database grows. This paper
addresses the problem of biometric indexing in the context of
fingerprint. Indexing is a technique to reduce the number of
candidate identities to be considered by the identification
algorithm. The fingerprint indexing methodology projected
in this work is based on a combination of Level 1, Level 2 and
Level-3 fingerprint features. The result shows the fusion of
level 1, level 2 and level 3 features gives better performance
and good indexing rate than with any one level of fingerprint
feature.
