ABSTRACT—This paper presents an intelligent system for generating face shapes from 
only fingerprints without knowing any information about faces. The proposed system 
based on artificial neural network has got a number of modules including two biometric 
data acquisition modules, two feature extraction modules, an artificial neural network 
module, a face re-construction module and a test & evaluation module. Experimental 
results have shown that the faces can be successfully generated from only fingerprints. 
Although the proposed system is an initial study, the performance of the system is very 
promising for the future developments.
