hello . I have fingerprint gray scale image . I extract coordinate of minutiae . but I don't know how to calculate the orientation of end point and bifurcation. can anybody help me to write matlab code of it? in my image end point is marked with red. bifurcation marked with blue

Hello I would like to know how you have generated such an image (I mean with thinning). I am using FVC 2002 fingerprint images with gray scale on which I wish to carry out thinning. Also do you know how to locate singular points in fingerprint images? Thanks in advance.

Get the endpoints, which it looks like you can already do. Then get the x,y coordinates of the points connected to that. A variety of ways to do that such as bwdistgeodesic http://blogs.mathworks.com/steve/2011/11/01/exploring-shortest-paths-part-1/
Then take the points closest to the endpoint, say 5 or 10 or whatever you want, and use polyfit to fit a line to the. I've attached a polyfit demo.

respected sir , i am a student doing a project of fingerprint recognition i have extract ridge end and bifurcation from fingerprints image..now i want code for "ridge end and bifurcation point count from extraction ..please help me.

To count the ridges, use bwlabel(). To find endpoints, call bwmorph() then call bwlabel()
[~, numRidges] = bwlabel(binaryRidgeImage);
endPoints = bwmorph(binaryRidgeImage, 'endpoints');
[~, numEndPoints] = bwlabel(endPoints);
