Abstract:

Fingerprint image preprocessing technology has been widely used with the development of intelligent identity recognition system, which studies fingerprint image restoration, enhancement and thinning based on digital image processing technology. This paper presents system design and realization of preprocessing technology for fingerprint image. Fingerprint image has restoration processing by adopting image filed calculation, image background segmentation, image equalization, image convergence and image smoothing algorithm in order at first. Then Gabor wavelet algorithm is used to enhance the contrast of fingerprint image. Image thinning algorithm is carried out to extract the skeleton of fingerprint image at last. Test result shows that the method presented has good accuracy, quick speed and strong robustness for realtime application.
