Fast Separable Gabor Filter for Fingerprint Enhancement

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNCS,volume 3072))

Abstract

Since two-dimensional Gabor filter can be separated into one-dimensional Gaussian low pass filter and one-dimensional Gaussian band pass filter to the perpendicular, a new set of separable Gabor filters are implemented for fingerprint enhancement. This separable Gabor filtering consumes approximately 2.6 time faster than the conventional Gabor filtering with comparable enhancement results. This alternative fingerprint enhancement scheme is very promising for practical fast implementation in the near future.
