Fingerprint Identification System Based on the Nios II Processor1

With the boom of information technology represented by computers since the 1960s, computer technology has begun to be used in the fingerprint identification field, bringing new thoughts, implementation methods, and processing approaches for automated fingerprint identification. Authorities, institutions, and universities have begun implementing fingerprint analysis and processing using computers. A computerized system that performs automated fingerprint identification is called an Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS).
