Boon Thye Yeo: Coded the entire verification stage. Also, did the FFT filter.

                          Hours: ~100 hours (excluding research time)

Wee Peng Tay: Coded most of the minutiae extraction stage, including the ridge tracing algorithm.  Preprocess images and generate the fingerprint database for the verification stage.

                          Hours: ~100 hours.

Ying Yu Tai: Generated all fingerprints by Synthetic Fingerprint Generator for image database and for preprocessing stage. Coded ridge angle, binarized images, and thinning fingerprint (not used) algorithms. Converted this report into HTML format.

                          Hours: ~75 hours.
