Current research on fingerprint recognition is discussed in the following article. Focuses on earlier investigations of fingerprint recognition systems and a brief review of fingerprint recognition’s conceptual and structural frameworks are presented in this paper The fundamentals of fingerprint recognition have been explained. A pre-processing phase is used to eliminate irrelevant data and enhance the visibility of added character by employing an enhancement technique for biometric data acquisition. An additional stage extracts fingerprint features from the output of the pre-processing phase. The database template is compared to the newly obtained feature. This study aims to evaluate recent work on fingerprint recognition systems and elucidate fingerprint recognition steps gradually and present descriptions of fingerprint records with features.
