Embedded Fingerprint Verification System

Fingerprint verification is one of the most reliable personal identification methods in biometrics. In this paper, an effective fingerprint verification system is presented. We describe an enhanced fingerprint verification system consisting of image pre-processing, feature extraction and matching processes. Improved image pre-processing and broken ridge reconnection methods are proposed here. In this paper, we also describe the design and implementation of a fingerprint verification system on SoC.
