MAJOR PROJECT: FINGERPRINT RECOGNITION SYSTEM Fabricated a Fingerprint authentication system capable of discerning authorized users within acceptable error rates. The design was completed in two stages: • Stage 1: The various stages of fingerprint authentication system were implemented using MATLAB and tested using available fingerprint database. • Stage 2: Implementation of a system (hardware) capable of accepting user fingerprints and authentication within reasonable time and error constraints MINOR PROJECT: ELECTRONIC DRUM KIT Successfully fabricated an Electronic Drum Kit using Atmega 32 microcontroller. The drum kit had 3 different pads, thereby producing 3 different sounds. • In addition to coding of the microcontroller in MATLAB, the other practical work involved designing a low pass filter and amplifiers. A speaker was externally provided.
