A Systematic Review of Fingerprint Recognition System Development

Biometric authentication is gaining ground in security-related issues in business, corporate management, and other settings. A considerable amount of research has been conducted in this area, yet further research into its betterment is still an emerging trend. This article presents a study of the published empirical research on some fingerprint recognition techniques widely in use. The study is limited to articles that explicitly discuss techniques used in recognizing a person's fingerprint. It employs a systematic mapping design, which proposes a categorical system to classify the research results based on the selected articles' topics. The categories include work distribution by year of publication, datasets used, fingerprint recognition approaches, metrics, and evaluation. This study shows the direction of currently performed empirical research on fingerprint recognition by comparing the selected published work to the classification criteria and evaluating them.
