Fingerprint is most important and widely used biometrics trait for identification. However, the fingerprint identification is still a challenging task in forensic science for criminal investigation and identification due to less area of region of interest (i.e. ridges and valleys) in the obtained fingerprints. Entire fingerprint is obtained only wh...

... in ridges and valleys, it is always tried to remove useless background area as much as possible. However, it is not possible to remove background completely from the fingerprint. The finger has curvature shape at the tip of the finger. Due to the curvature, fingerprint shape is almost like ellipse (e.g. an egg or a rugby ball) as shown in Fig. 1(a). Therefore it not possible to remove background at top corner of the fingerprint images as shown in Fig. 1(b). The back boxes show such portion of fingerprint which contains more background ...
