中文说明：
本设计为基于MATLAB的指纹识别系统。本设计系统主要对指纹图像进行三方面处理：图像预处理、特征提取和特征匹配。图像预处理包括四个步骤：图像灰度化、滤波增强、二值化、细化，对指纹图像进行预处理后，去除了原图像的冗余部分，方便后续的识别处理；特征提取主要是提取指纹图像细化后的端点和分叉点；特征匹配是利用两个指纹的图像进行特征点比较，来确定两幅图像是否来自于同一手指。
English Description：
This design is a fingerprint identification system based on MATLAB. This system mainly deals with fingerprint image in three aspects: image preprocessing, feature extraction and feature matching. Image preprocessing includes four steps: image grayscale, filter enhancement, binarization and thinning. After preprocessing the fingerprint image, the redundant part of the original image is removed for the convenience of subsequent recognition processing. Feature extraction is mainly to extract the endpoint and bifurcation points after thinning the fingerprint image. Feature matching is to determine the two images by comparing the feature points of the two fingerprint images Whether the image comes from the same finger.
