Summary:Our paper describes the design and implementation of a fingerprint thinning algorithm by means of morphological image processing operations, in order to improve the minutiae map involved. The final goal is to incorporate the thinning algorithm proposed with the minutiae extraction algorithm for fingerprint identification systems, developed and presented at IEEE ICCST'01.
