About the Project
This research project is developed as part of the M.Sc. Forensic Science curriculum. The system focuses on enhancing degraded latent fingerprints and extracting minutiae features using AI-assisted image processing techniques to support forensic examination.
Forensic Processing Workflow
Fingerprint Detection
Detects fingerprint presence within the input image.
Image Enhancement
Improves ridge clarity while preserving structural integrity.
ROI Extraction
Separates fingerprint region from background noise.
Skeletonization
Reduces ridges to one-pixel width for feature extraction.
Minutiae Extraction
Identifies ridge endings and bifurcations for analysis.
Live Demonstration
Note: Image upload and live fingerprint processing are enabled only for demonstration purposes. The uploaded image is forwarded to a controlled backend processing environment for analysis.
Live Demonstration Output
The output below displays the enhanced fingerprint along with extracted minutiae, generated by the backend processing pipeline.
