Week 7: Methodology Of The Project

Figure 4.1 Block Diagram Of The System

In the block diagram above, it show the description or device that to be use in this project. Basically, only the thumbprint scanner is hardware. The rest is a software that will be develop on the Matlab. The input will be the password pattern and fingerprint scanner and on the output will declare whether the access grant or deny. The real access time also will be record and save. The data storage contain a memory of authorized fingerprint pattern and time access data.Most  important part which is the main control will be program by using Matlab software.

Week 6: Literature Review

Security system is the system that provides a degree of protection against danger, damages, loss and crimes. It is a structure and process that gives or improves security as a condition. This system has to be compared to related concepts that are safety, continuity and reliability.

From the research that have been done on system that using biometric, there are several previous system can be references to this project

• Vigilance readerTA880E

It is a electronic lock using number pin and fingerprint recognition system which set of IN-OUT fingerprint reader using fingerprint identification and designed for door access and time attendance system simultaneously. The readers can be installed in a standalone and networked environment, depending on the need of a client. It possesses features that are beneficial to an institution which include fast verification method, easy enrollment, identification, multiple fingers enrollment and flexible finger placement.

This existed project is best example as reference for the Development of Fingerprint Image Processing Recognition because both system flowcharts have several similarities such as using fingerprint pattern including password as verification and access with time attendance system process. but both also have the differences shown in table below

Vigilance Reader TA880E	Development Of Fingerprint Image Processing Recognition
Develop in C++ language (using Linux operating system)	Develop in Matlab programming software
Build for a commercial market	Build for study propose
The installation of the hardware can be anywhere near entrance	No installation of hardware because almost all of the system using software

• DSP Using Voice Recognition

This project describes the methods used to create a voice recognition system. The methods used were divided into two parts, which are feature extraction and feature matching. In the feature extraction, MFCC method hasbeen applied to identify the characteristics of the voice signal. While in the feature matching, the output resulting from the MFCC will be used by DTW to compare and to minimize the distance of MFCC at each point. K-NNclassification method has been used to determine which one gives the most highest and maximum score for the word said by the speaker. Finally, GUI has been designed as a unit system for voice recognition.

Week 5: Objectives Of The Project

The research study of this project is to provide the opportunity for student to apply and integrate the theoretical knowledge and principles taught in the course in solving technical problem. The main purposes of the research and will demonstrate the improvement of identification access with the objective of this project are:

·         To develop a thumbprint image processing identification access system is reliability estimation techniques by considering the type of access system.

·        To build and develop protective new stage of access system using MATLAB software and GUI display.

·        To propose reliability methods to improve the type of access for security system and attendance system. 

Week 4: Problem Statement

On the research that i had done, there are several problem or disadvantages that exist in access system in Malaysia. One of typical Malaysia access system is by using punch card or smart card. The disadvantages is listed below.

Careless Worker

-Sometimes, forget or lost our things is a common in daily activities, same goes to smart card. But if the system using a fingerprint as a access card, the excuse cannot be acceptable unless you accidentally cut your own finger. 

 Lack Of Discipline

-It is usually happen in access system that use a punch card. Due of the weakness of this system, some irresponsible Malaysian people typical now a day, they like to cover each other for being late to office.

 Security Access

-One of the highlight problem in security system that always we face.The increase of burglaries and sabotage in Malaysia nowadays worried even small company.

Therefore, the Development Of Fingerprint Image Processing Recognition introduce a better level of time attendance and access security system in Malaysia. Fingerprint is one of bio metrics type that offers the opportunity of achieving a clear reduction in costs without loss in security. It is believed with strong evidences that each fingerprint is unique. Each person has his own fingerprints with the permanent uniqueness.  The fingerprint pattern in access system and time attendance system will give solution on the problem discuss above.

Week 3: Project Introduction

A fingerprint is the feature pattern of human finger which composed of many friction ridges and furrows. It is highly believed with strong evidences that each of human fingerprint is unique. Each person has his own fingerprints with the permanent uniqueness. The main purpose of a Development Of Fingerprint Image Processing Recognition is to provide a better time attendance and also security service in which only fingerprint image that had been stored can access. The probability of this system to broke or being hacked is low due to the pattern of every human fingerprint is different. Using a  Matlab software, the develop program is planning to be code.

Week 2: Abstract Of The Project

A fingerprint is the feature pattern of human finger which composed of many friction ridges and furrows. It is highly believed with strong evidences that each of human fingerprint is unique. Each person has his own fingerprints with the permanent uniqueness. The main purpose of a Development Of Fingerprint Image Processing Recognition is to provide a better time attendance and also security service in which only fingerprint image that had been stored can access. The probability of this system to broke or being hacked is low due to the pattern of every human fingerprint is different.

There are several existing system in the market now days can be references to this project such as Gateman digital locks, Vigilance reader and Cytron attendance system with fingerprint reader.These type of product have one huge similarity which is by using finger print function.At the beginning stage of this project, a fingerprint device will scan a thumbprint pattern. Then a developed Matlab software will verify the authenticity of the finger pattern and compare to the data in the data base. If the data match it will give the person to access but whenever the data is not match the person will not get the permission to access.This system is to produce a better level of security level that can be store the history for accessing the system. Hence, every time the workers wish for passing the security system, the worker is needed to do the recognition. At the same time, by using time attendance system, it will record the time entry every time the worker enter.

The expected result for this project is to achieve overall objective and in the same time to give an advantages for the company that use this system in term of time attendance management and securing the workplace from outsider or prevent trespassers. Overall, this project’s proposal is deemed as a success although the programming of the project is quite challenging but it is still reasonable to be developed in time.

Week 1: Finding Project And Supervisor

Students must have a one suitable project adviser for their own project. The supervisor of the project is importance due to help and supervise the student's project along the advise on the project progress. Therefore, i have decide to do my project with Madam Noor Hidayah Binti Mohd Yunus. The title for my project is a Development of Fingerprint Image Processing Recognition using Matlab software.
