Adding a computer vision project to enhance fingerprint images using oriented gabor filters.
Language: Python
Libraries: Opencv

Description

Biometric recognition systems using fingerprint recognition face the need of enhancing the fingerprint image captured by the sensor. In this project we use the approach of filtering using oriented gabor filters which are computed based on the ridge frequency and orientation of the input image.

Motivation and Context

This adds a new project to the list of projects in this repo.

How Has This Been Tested?

This project has been tested offline on several images from different fingerprint sensors.
The code integrity is also tested on some images from the FVC databases
