A NEW PIPELINE DESIGN FOR BINARIZATION AND THINNING OF FINGERPRINT IMAGES
Abstract
Two critical steps in fingerprint recognition are binarization and thinning of the image. The need for real-time processing led us to local adaptive thresholding approach for the binarization step. We introduce a new hardware for this purpose based on pipeline architecture. We propose a method for selecting an optimal block size for the thresholding purpose and then the binarized image is dilated. We also present a new pipeline structure for …
