  Abstract

A new fingerprint image enhancement algorithm using multiresolution information and Gabor filter is proposed in this paper. The proposed algorithm performs selection of the region in image according to inclusion of singular points and then performs enhancement using Gabor filtering of the region adjusted in its size. Gabor filter using representative direction in the same block is used in the region that the direction of ridge is not changed much, while Gabor filter using pixel based direction is used in the region that the direction of ridge is changed much. This method can reduce processing time for enhancement using Gabor filter and preserve the merit of Gabor filter.
