1. Introduction
The product of this project is a Windows based fingerprint recognition
application contains a friendly GUI. The application allows user to select
two processed, enrolled fingerprint images from system database and
produce the matching result to the user.
The aims of this fingerprint recognition software are:
 Implement edge detection algorithm on the input fingerprint image
 Implement image enhancement on the fingerprint image
 Implement image thinning algorithm on the input image
 Extract minutiae from input fingerprint image and eliminate all fail
minutiae
 Save the processed fingerprint image into database
 Select two images from database and run matching function and
output matching result with an acceptable accuracy
 Allow user to manage the image database of application
The requirement of project are:
 A fingerprint scanner which is properly working.
 Visual C# programming environment.

4. Conclusion
In this paper, the project aims and requirements, project schedule and its
explanation were mentioned. Although the schedule is hard to follow
from the beginning to the end, I will still try my best to keep my project
development process accord with the schedule.
