Hardware Implementation of a Biometric Fingerprint Identification System with Embedded Matlab

Abstract

The present day software approaches for fingerprint identification systems, are very slow and computationally complex, and hence the user has to wait for a long time before being granted access. The hardware version of the same system is much faster and reliable. We proceed by exploring a new tool in MATLAB in order to describe this system. Three blocks in the fingerprint system flow have been designed and synthesized for use in real time applications.
