Fingerprint Minutiae Extraction Codes

I'm here to help with your fingerprint minutiae extraction needs in MATLAB. 

1. Preprocess the Image: Convert the fingerprint image to grayscale and enhance contrast.
2. Binarize the Image: Convert the enhanced image to a binary format.
3. Thin the Image: Skeletonize the binary image to highlight ridges.
4. Detect Minutiae: Identify ridge endings and bifurcations using image processing functions.
5. Visualize Minutiae: Overlay the detected minutiae on the original image.
