Abstract-From the ancient time to present time human are constantly changing the world with its valuable knowledge and concise. But We are
always concerned with the security of our relatives and of our valuable things like ornaments , vehicles , wealth etc. Banks are one of the most
secured places to keep our valuable things but they lacks some serious security features hence leading to robbery. In this paper we tried our best
to enhance the security of BANK LOCKERS through some embedded security technology as stated below:
1. The Main purpose of the system is used to design and implement a Bank locker with a Security System Based On Fingerprint Scanner
[5], User Password,RFID[9] ,Temperature And IR Sensor which can be implemented in homes and offices as well apart from the Banks.
2. Only authentic and verified person can access his/her belongings from the Bank locker.
3. In case of any attempt to open the bank locker without proper clearance. The security system will blow the alarm bell or buzzer[9] at
security monitoring places.

Keywords- Fingerprint scanner, user password, RFID, temperature sensor and IR sensor

The most commonly used interfaces these days for
interfacing and communication is RS232[6].It
provides a very effective method for data
transmission with less wires and less cost Besides
the fact that serial port is harder to program than
parallel port.RS232 basically provides three links

IV. System Flowchart- flat bed document scanner. The live scan fingerprint is a
collective term for a fingerprint image dIRectly obtained
from the finger without the intermediate step of getting an
impression on a paper. Consequently, portions of the image
formed on the imaging plane of the CCD corresponding to
ridges are dark and those corresponding to valleys are
bright. More recently, capacitance-based solid state live-
scan fingerprint sensors are gaining popularity since they are
very small in size and hold promise of becoming
inexpensive in the near future. A capacitance-based
fingerprint sensor essentially consists of an array of
electrodes. The fingerprint skin acts as the other electrode,
thereby, forming a miniature capacitor. The capacitance due
to the ridges is higher than those formed by valleys. This
differential capacitance is the basis of operation of a
capacitance-based solid state sensor[1]&[2].

VI.Feature Extraction-

A feature extractor finds the ridge endings and ridge

bifurcations from the input fingerprint images. If ridges can
be perfectly located in an input fingerprint image, then
minutiae extraction is just a trivial task of extracting singular
points in a thinned ridge map. However, in practice, it is not
always possible to obtain a perfect ridge map. The
performance of currently available minutiae extraction
algorithms depends heavily on the quality of the input
fingerprint images.[3] It mainly consists of three
components[10]: (i) Orientation field estimation, (ii) ridge
extraction, and (iii) minutiae extraction and post processing.
V. Fingerprint Sensing-
