Abstract: Fingerprint enhancement has a great significance on improvement of the accuracy of automatic fingerprint identification System(AFIS).To balance the weakness of straight-line Gabor filter in extremely curved region and the high computation complexity of curved line Gabor filter,a novel straight-curved line Gabor filter was proposed in this paper.First,orientation coherence was utilized to divide the fingerprint into curved and smooth regions.Then implemented curved-line filtering and straight-line filtering on curved and smooth regions respectively.Experiments on FVC2002 show that the proposed method achieves comparable enhancement effect and 1.404 times faster calculating speed,compared with curved-line Gabor.
