DESIGN AND SIMULATION OF CASCADED GABOR FILTER USING VERILOG HDL

This paper presents the Design and Simulation of Cascaded Gabor filter for fingerprint recognition using Verilog HDL. The application of Gabor Filter technique to enhance the fingerprint image and it is used to define the ridges and valley regions of fingerprints is by convoluting the image pixel with Gabor filter coefficient. The experimental result was the signal convoluted with the Gabor coefficient. The effect of image enhancement has an impact on features extraction and the fingerprint identification of recognition rate, according to the research of traditional fingerprint image enhancement technology, Gabor filtering for fingerprint image enhancement technology is proposed.
