The real-time biometric systems are used to authenticate persons for wide range of security applications. In this paper, we propose implementation of fingerprint-based biometric system using Optimized 5/3 DWT architecture and Modified CORDIC-based Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The Optimized 2D-DWT architecture is designed using Optimized 1D-DWT architectures, Memory Units and novel Controller Unit which is used to scan rows and columns of an image. The database fingerprint image is applied to the proposed Optimized 2D-DWT architecture to obtain four sub-bands of LL, LH, HL and HH. The efficient architecture of FFT is designed by using Modified CORDIC processor which generates twiddle factor angles of range 0 • -360 • using Pre-processing Unit and Comparator Block. Further, the LL sub-band coefficients are applied to the Modified CORDIC based FFT to generate

In most of the real time video processing applications, cameras are used to capture live video with embedded systems/Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) to process and convert it into the suitable format supported by display devices. In such cases, the interface between the camera and display device plays a vital role with respect to the quality of the captured and displayed video, respectively. In this paper, we propose an efficient FPGA-based low cost Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) camera interfacing architecture for live video streaming and processing applications. The novelty of our work is the design of optimised architectures for Controllers, Converters, and several interfacing blocks to extract and process the video frames in real time efficiently. The flexibility of parallelism has been exploited in the design for Image Capture and Video Graphics Array (VGA) Generator blocks. The Display Data Channel Conversion block required for VGA to High Definition Multimedia Interface Conversion has been modified to suit our objective by using optimised Finite State Machine and Transition Minimiszed Differential Signalling Encoder through the use of simple logic architectures, respectively. The hardware utilization of the entire architecture is compared with the existing one which shows that the proposed architecture requires nearly 44% less hardware resources than the existing one.This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.
