New generation ID will be added fingerprint

From January 1, 2013, the first-generation resident ID cards ceased to be used. At present, there are only a few thousand citizens who have not yet replaced their cards. The newly revised "Law on Identity Cards" stipulates that the resident identity card registration program includes fingerprint information. Starting from January 1, local residents' police stations in some large and medium-sized cities across the country will try their ID cards to register fingerprint information.

The Ministry of Public Security decided that from January 1, 2013 onwards, from the point of view to the surface, actively, steadily, gradually and orderly proceed with the work of registering fingerprint information on ID cards, and increase the number of citizens who apply for a new identity card and replace their ID card for the first time. Fingerprint information. Areas that do not have the necessary conditions will continue to issue resident ID cards and temporary resident ID cards without fingerprint information, and by the end of December 2013, they will strive to meet the criteria for accepting registered fingerprint information resident ID cards for urban and rural household registration offices nationwide. The increased cost of registering fingerprint information will be incorporated into local budgets without additional charges. The second-generation permits that have already been received within the validity period can still be used normally.

The first-generation resident ID cards ceased to be used. For those citizens who have not yet renewed their second-generation permits, the public security agencies will provide convenience for them to change their cards. At the same time, the provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government will select local police stations for large and medium-sized cities. The citizens who applied for the first time to obtain and redeem their identity cards will be added to the registration fingerprint information.

Fingerprinting refers to identification by comparing the details of different fingerprints. Because each person's fingerprint is different, that is, between the ten fingers of the same person, the fingerprint is also significantly different, so the fingerprint can be used for identification. In fact, ancient China has long used fingerprints (handprints) to sign up. In 1684, plant morphologist Grew published the first scientific paper on fingerprinting.

Extension: Principle of Fingerprint Identification

With the development of computers and information technology, the FBI and the Paris Police Department in France began researching and developing the Automatic Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) in the 1960s for the detection of criminal cases. At present, fingerprint identification systems are widely used by police stations around the world. In the 1990s, an automatic fingerprint recognition system for personal identification was developed and applied. Because the position of each seal is not exactly the same, different stress points will bring about different degrees of deformation, and there are a large number of fuzzy fingerprints. How to correctly extract features and achieve correct matching is the key to fingerprint recognition technology. Fingerprint recognition technology involves many disciplines such as image processing, pattern recognition, computer vision, mathematical morphology, and wavelet analysis.
