Gabor Filter Design for Fingerprint Application Using Matlab and Verilog HDL

This paper demonstrates the application of Gabor Filter technique to enhance the fingerprint image. This work produces change in Gabor filter design by increasing the quality of an output which helps in higher security applications. The incoming signal in form of image pixel will be convoluted by Gabor filter to define the Edge and vale regions of fingerprint. The main characteristic of this paper is to store image pixel in memory if convolution signal is low and if the signal is high image is filtered.
