Abstract
Due to its broad use in fields including law enforcement, access control, and
personal identity, fingerprint recognition systems have attracted a lot of interest in
recent years. This paper offers a thorough examination of fingerprint recognition
systems, concentrating on their underlying ideas, methods, and performance
assessment. The study starts by giving a general review of the biometric identification
sector while highlighting how distinct and stable fingerprints are as a trustworthy form
of personal identification. Highlighting significant turning points and developments, it
examines the historical evolution of fingerprint identification systems from manual
fingerprint analysis to automated digital systems. This research seeks to increase the
knowledge of biometric identification technologies by offering a thorough review of
fingerprint recognition systems. Researchers, professionals, and politicians interested in
the creation and deployment of safe and effective fingerprint recognition systems for a
variety of applications can benefit from the discoveries and insights offered.
