Biometric based access control is becoming increasingly popular in the current era because of its simplicity and user-friendliness.
is eliminates identity recognition manual work and enables automated processing. e fingerprint is one of the most important
biometrics that can be easily captured in an uncontrolled environment without human cooperation. It is important to reduce the
time consumption during the comparison process in automated fingerprint identification systems when dealing with a large
database. Fingerprint classification enables this objective to be accomplished by splitting fingerprints into several categories, but it
still poses some difficulties because of the wide intraclass variations and the limited interclass variations since most fingerprint
datasets are not categories. In this paper, we propose a classification and matching fingerprint model, and the classification
classifies fingerprints into three main categories (arch, loop, and whorl) based on a pattern mathematical model using GoogleNet,
AlexNet, and ResNet Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture and matching techniques based on bifurcation minutiae
extraction. e proposed model was implemented and tested using MATLAB based on the FVC2004 dataset. e obtained result
shows that the accuracy for classification is 100%, 75%, and 43.75% for GoogleNet, ResNet, and AlexNet, respectively. e time
required to build a model is 262, 55, and 28 seconds for GoogleNet, ResNet, and AlexNet, respectively.
1. Introduction
Biometrics science is used to identify people using their
physical characteristics. ese characteristics are fingerprint,
iris, palm, face, DNA, and voice [1]. Among these charac-
teristics, the fingerprint is one the most accurate and reliable
for identifying a person [2] since fingerprints are the unique
biometric characteristics of any person; therefore, it is used
in forensic divisions worldwide for criminal investigations
where even the twins have nonidentical fingerprints.
erefore, fingerprints have been confirmed to be good
and secure biometrics. e process of fingerprint identifi-
cation is to confirm or refuse if a scanned fingerprint belongs
to a specific person or not. e increasing commercial
applications and number of civilians that depend on fin-
gerprint-based identification lead to a huge fingerprint
database. Matching specific fingerprints stored in the da-
tabase is computationally time-consuming. e subject of
automatic fingerprint identification has received intensive
attention among researchers.
To solve automatic fingerprint identification, finger-
prints can be stored in databases based on the characteristics
of their ridge and furrow patterns. In general, fingerprints
can be divided into three major classes known as whorl (W),
loop (L), and arch (A) according to Galton [3]. e Galton
classification scheme is shown in Figure 1. e database of
