Are fingerprints formed by ridge characteristics and minutae?
Yes, fingerprints are formed by the unique combination of ridge patterns and minutiae. Ridge characteristics refer to the ridges and furrows that form the overall pattern of a fingerprint, such as loops, whorls, and arches. Minutiae are the specific unique features within the ridge patterns, such as ridge endings, bifurcations, and dot-like formations. The combination of these ridge characteristics and minutiae make each fingerprint unique and identifiable.

First you must find the delta. When you find it place a dot at the farthest corner of it. then place a dot at the center of the fingerprint. With a ruler connect the dots and count the lines which intersect the line you just drew.
What is the minimum number of ridge characteristics necessary before two fingerprints can be identified as the same?
16
