Fingerprint Enhancement using Gabor Filter Algorithm

The most important thing in fingerprint enhancement method is the segmentation of region and the interest. Many automatic systems for fingerprint enhancement techniques are based on minutiae matching concepts. Minutiae matching concept pointed to the core point, ridge ending and bifurcations of the ridges that identifies the fingerprint image pattern. The proposed enhancement method is an essential pre-processing of the fingerprint enhancement applications. Enhanced fingerprint is a common and complex in fingerprint identification method as it gives the base for the performance of computing system. The ridge structure in a fingerprint can be viewed as an orientation patterns, having a spatial frequency and orientation. The important step in fingerprint image recognition is the segmentation of the region of interest. Results define the robustness of the proposed system.
