This document describes a method for estimating a person's age from their fingerprint using 2D discrete wavelet transforms and principal component analysis. The fingerprint image is preprocessed, undergoes wavelet decomposition to extract frequency domain features, and principal component analysis to extract spatial features. These features are stored in a database along with the ages of 547 fingerprints. A new fingerprint's features are extracted and compared to the database to classify the fingerprint by estimated age. The goal is to help anthropologists and investigators estimate age from latent fingerprints.

Introduction
FINGERPRINTS are one of the most mature
biometric technologies and are considered
legitimate proofs of evidence.
The fingerprint are able to process varaities of
information along with gender, age and
ethnicity.
Fingerprint identification algorithms are well
established and are being implemented all over
the world for security and person identity.
Fingerprint physical features
 Finger prints are the most evidence one which
being used in law.
 It is being used in the site of crime And the
monuments of excavated things.
Estimating the age of the fingerprints is an
emerging field
physical features like the ridge
count and the ridge thickness have been used.
Effective method of identification
The present work to analyze their correlation
with age of an individual.
 By using frequency domain technique and a
pattern recognition technique.
2D- Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and
Principal Component Analysis (PCA) combined
to estimate a person’s age using an obtained
fingerprint.
Description
 This is very helpful for anthropologists for
estimating the age from the fingerprints.
 The age of the person can be jugded by
fingerprint for the concern person with the
counts or breadth of the ridges.
 Ridge breadths differ more between males and
females with high standard deviation among
subjects of both genders.
 Dermatoglyphic features statistically differ
between the sexes, ethnic groups and age
categories.

Extraction
 After preprocessing the fingerprint goes
through two levels of feature extraction,
 one is frequency domain feature vector
obtaining by undergoing Wavelet
decomposition.
 second is by spatial level undergoing PCA.
 This is compared with the database for the
minimum distance and classifies the
fingerprint as to which class it lies.
Techniques
 Fingerprint identification agencies were set up
world-wide and criminal fingerprint databases
were established.
 Various fingerprint recognition techniques,
including latent fingerprint acquisition,
fingerprint classification and fingerprint matching
were developed.
 The obtained fingerprint goes through
preprocessing stage for enhancement and
removing the noise.
Processing
 A fingerprint age estimating system constitutes of
digital images of fingerprint as its input which is
then transformed.
 As it goes through two levels
 frequency domain undergoingWavelet
decomposition and spatial level undergoing PCA.
 The database for our analysis is done on 547
individual fingerprints of male and female of
different ages between 12- 64.
Enhancement technique
 Image enhancement processes seek to
improve the visual appearance of an image .
 To convert the image to a form better suited
for analysis by a human or a machine.
 Enhancements techniques like contrast
enhancement, histogram equalization,
biniarization, thinning and inverting are used
as per the requirement of the image to be
enhanced.
Wavelets for vector generation
 Wavelets have been used frequently in image
processing and used for feature extraction,
denoising, compression, face recognition, and
image super-resolution.
 DWT decomposes an image into sub-bands that
are localized in frequency and orientation.
 The decomposition of images into different
frequency ranges permits the isolation of the
frequency components introduced by “intrinsic
deformations” or “extrinsic factors” into certain
subbands.
 PCA algorithms are generally implemented for
pattern recognition systems.
 The patterns recoganized by PCA algorithms
and the recoganization of fingerprints that are
to be identified in vector generation wavelet
and they are stored separately.
 Later these two are combined both the
feature vector into a single vector which
stores the frequency domain and spatial
domain information of a fingerprint.
Conclusion
 It is widely used in Biometric Research.
 It is used in worldwide to detect the crimes in
histological monuments.
 Silicon gel is used to find the finger print.
