Abstract
The cores and deltas of fingerprints designate the parts where the flow of the ridges change radically. Observations on the change of the orientation of the ridges around the cores and deltas enable us to guess the location of the cores and deltas. According]y clustering the orientation flowing to the same direction after doing research on the orientation of the ridges on the whole makes us see that the cores and deltas are shaping around the boundaries of the clustering area. It is also observed that The patterns of clustering of the orientation of the ridges classified as Arch, Tented Arch, Left loop, Right Loop and Whorl have its own characteristics respectively. In this paper the method of classifying the fingerprints effectively is proposed and proved its effectiveness by using the clustering of the orientation of the ridges, finding the cores of the fingerprints which don't secure the deltas.
