Abstract

Depending on the situation or the actions at work, the word "identification" might indicate several different meanings. In forensic sciences, identification is used to "determine the individuality of a person". The terms "papillary ridges" or "friction ridges" are frequently used when referring to the ridges that the papillae form. The term "ridge count" refers to the number of ridges separating the core from the delta. An arbitrary line divides the core from the delta. The line is counted along with every ridge that touches or crosses it. A dataset of 90 persons (45 male and 45 female) from Karunya Nagar, Coimbatore was analysed. Any two loop patterns (From both hands or either one hand) were collected from all the individuals of ages between 17 to 35. Stereomicroscope was used for ridge counting and the data was analysed by SPSS software. Determining the person's gender based on their Ridge Count is the goal of this study. As per the data analysed, the female subjects have more ridges than male subjects belonging to a particular region of Karunya Nagar. The mean value for females is 13 and for males is 12.
