	Fingerprint is composed of a series of ridges and valleys. This pattern series and the minutiae points define the fingerprint’s uniqueness. Minutiae points occur at the ridge endings or ridge bifurcations. One of the fingerprint verification methods is minutiae-based and compares minutiae points of two fingerprints<sup>[4]</sup>. The effectiveness of this approach is heavily dependent on the quality of the fingerprint sample.		Fingerprint is composed of a series of ridges and valleys.
