4. Ignition Based on Fingerprint Recognition

Abstract

Normally available locks in the bikes do not provide enough security to the bike owners. Traditional locks available in the bikes are well known to thieves and they can be easily broken by them. Thus there is a need for more security options to be available for the motorcycle which is unique and must be different from the traditional key locks. Biometrics system can be used as a good and effective security option. An important and very reliable human identification method is fingerprint identification. As fingerprint of every person is unique thus it can be used in various security options. In this paper we are focusing on the use of finger print recognition to start or ignite the motorcycle against the use of conventional methods of key locks. A detailed comparison is shown in the paper related to this work. In this paper the work done before in this field is shown. Various other methods that can be used to enhance the security have been shown in a comparative way. Related work include enhancing the security of the bikes by adding different types of locks and alarming unit to alert owner of the bike in case of danger.

Automotive Start–Stop Engine Based on Fingerprint Recognition System

“…Since the fingerprint acquired from fingerprint sensor is not in the perfect quality, those enhancement methods, for increasing the contrast between ridges and valleys [14]. This method is also used for connecting the false broken points of ridges due to an insufficient amount of ink, are very useful for keeping a higher accuracy to fingerprint recognition [15,16]. There are three types of method for image enhancement; Histogram Equalization, in this type is done by expanding the pixel value distribution of an image so as to increase the perceptional information [13].…”
