Pre-Processing Image Algorithm for Fingerprint Recognition and its Implementation on DSP TMS320C6416

Abstract

Fingerprint recognition technology is becoming increasingly popular and widely used for many applications that require a high level of security. We can meet several types of sensors integrated in the fingerprint recognition system as well as several types of image processing algorithm in order to ensure reliable and fast authentication of people. Embedded systems have a wide variety and the choice of a welldesigned processor is one of the most important factors that directly affect the overall performance of the system. This paper introduces a preliminary treatment to the image in order to improve the quality, and then present a hardware implementation.
