Abstract:This working paper shows the results of finished research, using image processing techniques to improve the fingerprint obtained from a database, where the image is normalized and segmented to get only the section of the image with the fingerprint. Then, the Gabor filter is applied, and it corrects defects in ridges and valleys, allowing continuity. That way, if the fingerprint has a physical defect, the filter can correct it as long as the segment orientation to be correct. Once improved, the fingerprint, it … Show more
