  ABSTRACT: Fingerprint segmentation is a crucial step in fingerprint recognition system, and determines the results of fingerprint analysis and recognition. This paper proposes an efficient approach for fingerprint segmentation based on modified fuzzy c-means (FCM). The proposed method is realized by modifying the objective function in the Szilagyi’s algorithm via introducing histogram-based weight. Experimental results show that the proposed approach has an efficient performance while segmenting both original fingerprint image and fingerprint images corrupted by different type of noises.
