Segmentation is an important step in fingerprint recognition system, in which the region of interest can be extracted. This paper present the implementations of Gabor filter for fingerprint recognition using VHDL. This work demonstrates the application of Gabor Filter technique to enhance the fingerprint image. The incoming signal in form of image pixel will be filter out or convolute by the Gabor filter to define the ridge and valley regions of fingerprint.This paper presents a novel fingerprint image segmentation method aiming at dealing with low quality fingerprint images. The memory is used to store the incoming image pixel and the coefficient of the Gabor filter before the convolution takes place. The result was the signal convoluted with the Gabor coefficient.
