Principles of Fingerprint Analysis. Fingerprints are unique patterns, made by friction ridges (raised) and furrows (recessed), which appear on the pads of the fingers and thumbs.
program is to provide background and guidance regarding a latent fingerprint processing technique's capabilities, applicability, incompatibilities and sequencing in order to guide an examiner in his/her selection of an appropriate technique.

An article by Dalrymple, Duff, and Menzel (1977, pp 106–115) introduced the use of the laser to fingerprint examiners around the world (Ridgely, 1987, pp 5–12). This article described how natural components in some latent fingerprints luminesce under laser illumination.

- Summary
Fingerprint identification is one of the most well-known and publicized biometrics. Because of their uniqueness and consistency over time, fingerprints have been used for identification for over a century, more recently becoming automated (i.e. a biometric) due to advancements in computing capabilities. Fingerprint identification is popular becaus...
A fingerprint usually appears as a series of dark lines that represent the high, peaking portion of the friction ridge skin, while the valleys between these ridges appears as white space and are the low, shallow portion of the friction ridge skin. Fingerprint identification is based primarily on the minutiae, or the location and direction of the r...
A variety of sensor types — optical, capacitive, ultrasound, and thermal — are used for collecting the digital image of a fingerprint surface. Optical sensors take an image of the fingerprint, and are the most common sensor today. The capacitive sensor determines each pixel value based on the capacitance measured, made possible because an area of ...
The two main categories of fingerprint matching techniques are minutiae-based matching and pattern matching. Pattern matching simply compares two images to see how similar they are. Pattern matching is usually used in fingerprint systems to detect duplicates. The most widely used recognition technique, minutiae-based matching, relies on the minut...
The US-VISIT program is the centerpiece of the United States government's efforts to transform our nation's border management and immigration systems in a way that meets the needs and challenges of the 21st century. US-VISIT is part of a continuum of biometrically-enhanced security measures that begins outside U.S. borders and continues through a v...
For over a century, fingerprints have been one of the most highly used methods for human recognition; automated biometric systems have only been available in recent years. The determination and commitment of the fingerprint industry, government evaluations and needs, and organized standards bodies have led to the next generation of fingerprint rec...

The purpose of fingerprint classification is to establish a set protocol to utilize for searching, filing, and comparison purposes. Fingerprints are classified from general characteristics to specific. Classification depends on the pattern, the flow of the pattern, and direction.

Latent fingerprints are friction ridge impressions left unintentionally on the surface of an object. Images of latent fingerprints can be obtained (i.e., “lifted” or “developed”) through numerous methods ranging from precision photography to complex physical and chemical processing techniques [1].
