Fingerprint-based
authentication has a long history and has been successfully adopted in forensic
and civilian applications. Advances in fingerprint capture technology have
enabled large-scale applications. The system addresses the limitations of face
recognition and fingerprint verification systems and operates in identification
mode with an admissible response time, offering more reliable identification
than face recognition. Identifying unidentified dead bodies from violence or
accidents is crucial for police investigations. In the absence of
identification cards, DNA and dental profiling are commonly used. Although face
recognition is widely accepted, it becomes challenging in cases of facial
injuries like swelling, bruises, blood clots, lacerations, and avulsion, which
affect recognition features. Injuries to the face, head, limbs, and neck are
common in road accidents, violence, and natural disasters, with the face being
one of the most affected regions. According to the WHO, 1.25 million people
die, and 50 million are injured in road accidents annually, with 50% to 70% of
survivors suffering facial injuries, making identification difficult,
especially for unconscious victims without identity proofs.
