Unit Objective(s)/Overview:
Students will
- be introduced to the
field of fingerprint biometrics by viewing a powerpoint presentation and
completing journal entries on the information provided in the presentation;
- examine how minutiae points are extracted from fingerprints
to create a stored template to be used for fingerprint identification and
verification. Using Cartesian and Polar graph paper the students will plot
and record the x and y coordinates and angles for each minutiae point from
a given fingerprint;
- analyze the activity by writing a lab report
summary and responding to journal questions about activity.
