Abstract-The field of fraud identification is reaching a very high proportion in the society, thus leading to an increase in the need for fingerprint-based identification. This paper presents ASIC implementation of fingerprint recognition based on Overlap-add method and Integer Wavelet Transforms. In overlap-add method, the present output overlaps the next output and in the integer to integer wavelet, low component at 2 nd level decomposition is taken as approximate integer value. The implementation presents an analysis for speed, area and power dissipation between the two algorithms and other methods.
