Biometrics is a robust approach for identification or verification of person as it identifies person based on physical or behavioral characteristics. Among all characteristics fingerprint is the most popular and widely used biometric modality for identification or verification of person. Performance of the fingerprint verification or identification system is based on accurate core point detection technique. Till date many techniques are proposed to detect core point in fingerprint images but performance of these techniques is highly depends on type, quality of input fingerprint image so core point detection in fingerprint is still an open problem for research community. This paper deals with review of different techniques which are proposed for detection of core point in fingerprint image.
