| Abstract | Biometrics is currently a very rapidly evolving scientific and applied discipline, which studies the different possible ways of personal identification by means of certain unique biological characteristics of each individual. Such identification is very important in various situations requiring restricted access to certain areas, information, personal data, and in cases of medical emergencies. A number of automated biometric techniques have been developed, including fingerprint, hand shape, eye and facial recognition, thermographic imaging, etc. All of these techniques differ in the recognizable parameters, usability, accuracy and cost. Among others, fingerprint recognition stands alone - because a very large database of fingerprints has already been acquired (for historical reasons). Also, fingerprints are usually the main evidence left at a crime scene and can be used to track down criminals. Therefore, of all the automated biometric techniques, especially in the field of law enforcement, fingerprint identification seems to be the most promising. This paper introduces a newer development of the ultrasonic fingerprint imaging. The proposed method allowed a scan to be obtained just once and then to vary the C-scan gate position and width to visualize acoustic reflections from any appropriate depth inside the skin. Also, B-scans and A-scans can be recreated from any position using such a data array. Therefore, this gives total control over the visualization options. By setting the C-scan gate deeper inside the skin, distribution of the sweat pores (which are located along the ridges) can be easily visualized. Given that this distribution should be unique for each individual, this provides additional means of personal identification, which is not affected by any changes (accidental or intentional) of the fingers' surface conditions. This paper also gives thorough discussion of different setups, acoustic parameters of the system, signal and image processing options and possible ways of 3-dimentional visualization that could be used as a recognizable characteristic in biometric identification. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
