program for fingerprint recognition using minutia
The general shape of the fingerprint is generally used to pre-process the
 images, and reduce the search in large s. This uses the general 
 directions of the lines of the fingerprint, and the presence of the core 
 and the delta. Several categories have been defined in the Henry system: 
 whorl, right loop, left loop, arch, and tented arch. 
 
 Most algorithms are using minutiae, the specific points like ridges
 ending, bifurcation... Only the position and direction of these features 
 are stored in the signature for further comparison.
