CHILDREN TRACKING SYSTEM USING FINGERPRINT VERIFICATION.

Nowadays, parent has difficulty with keeping in touch with their children especially when they are at kindergartens or primary schools. The aim of this research is to design and implement children tracking system by using fingerprint biometrics. Then, the proposed system informs the parents in case their children are late or absent via mobile text messages. The system uses fingerprint verification (minutia extraction and minutia matching) as tool of child identifying because it is one of the most reliable personal identification methods. The proposed technique sends SMS though Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to the parent, in this case, Internet is required for the connection. In order to evaluate the proposed technique, an experiment is run and the result is acceptable and fruitful performance.
