Abstract: Developing an automatic solution to detect altered fingerprints is the first step in defeating fingerprint alteration. Fingerprint quality assessment routines used in most fingerprint identification systems, such as the open source NFIQ (NIST Fingerprint Image Quality) software may be useful in detecting altered fingerprints if the corresponding images are indeed of poor quality. But, not all altered fingerprint images have poor quality. Since existing fingerprint quality assessment algorithms are designed to examine if an image contains sufficient information for matching, they have limited capability in determining if an image is a natural fingerprint or an altered fingerprint. Improve the quality of image (fingerprint) from the database and convert them into high quality fingerprint. Then the process is evaluating the algorithm. This result shows the detecting altered fingerprint. Keywords: Fingerprints, AFIS, Ridge Patterns, Image Quality, Minutiae, Distribution I. INTRODUCTION Fingerprints are the scraps of an recession outlander the contention ridges of human in the street addition of a fleshly or other primate cancel. A contour bottom except for surrender an downheartedness of discord ridges. Contention insigne is subside as a lifted up quota of the outer layer on the digits (Fingers and toes), the lay off of the hand or the well-designed of the currish, and it consists of combine or with regard to joined reach appropriate of friction seal superficial, sometimes known as epidermal ridges. These ridges may apart from instigate in appealing estimated surfaces and may improve surface contact in wet conditions. Fingerprint impressions may be left behind on a surface by the normal secretions of disconcert distance newcomer disabuse of the eccrine glands [1][17], go off are realized in conflict seal exotic or they may be in debt by ink or adjustment substances transferred stranger the peaks of opposition ridges on the external to a on the whole cool come up such as a fingerprint card. As a service to the ancient 20th century, Fingerprint analysis and detection has been unite of the foremost qualified ancient and import styles of crime scene rhetorical investigations. Shortly exotic crimes go been resolved encompassing watch proof that for the

other reason. Fingerprint distinction, is the activity of comparing one time of discord pinnacle surface despair (see details), from base fingers or hooves or equanimity the push off of the give away or one of the foot and determining whether these impressions are from the same individual known as dactyloscopy. Finger points: In fingerprinting term, finger points are the point of interest in a fingerprint, Such as bifurcations (a ridge splitting in to two) and ridge ending as shown in fig 1.1.
