In the field of security, many Automatic Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) have been developed. One of the indices for evaluating the security of such system is the quality of the fingerprint image and the efficiency of the enhancement algorithm used. The main aim of the paper is to present a survey on traditional and classical fingerprint image enhancement techniques. The performance of the enhancement algorithms are evaluated on the basis of PSNR and MSE values. Based on the above measures, the most efficient enhancement algorithm is chosen.
