Posting multiple copies of your question is not going to result in faster response.
Asking a specific question would help you get a response sooner.
No, we are NOT going to write ridge point detection code for you. Some people might be willing to answer questions about the code if you have questions like "I ran it with this particular input and it produced this error message". We are probably not going to go read a bunch of papers and suggest algorithms for you either.
You do the research to find an algorithm. You make an attempt to implement it in MATLAB. You encounter an error in the MATLAB code that you cannot solve, and you post about that issue, including your code and the error message and a description of what you were doing. Someone might answer. (It will not be me; I do not do fingerprint recognition.)
