Fingerprints have long been utilized as a reliable biometric feature for confidential identification. Fingerprint association mentions to the setback of allocating fingerprints to one of countless pre-specified categories. Automatic association can be utilized as a pre-processing lick for fingerprint matching, cutting matching period and intricacy by restricting the find space to a subset of a normally huge database. Fingerprint matching methods can be mainly categorized as minutiae established and correlation based. Minutiae based technique early locates the minutiae points in a given fingerprint picture and matches their comparative placements in a stored template fingerprint. This Paper looks into Feature based and wavelet based fingerprint matching of the methods being worked upon in the research community.
