En IEEE International Conference on Electronics, Circuits and Systems (ICECS) (534-537), Marsella: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.http://hdl.handle.net/11441/56516In this paper a new digital dedicated hardware IP module for extracting singular points from fingerprints is presented (in particular convex cores). This module comprises four main blocks that implement an image directional extraction, a smoothing process, singular point detection and finally, a post processing to obtain the exact location of the singular point. A Verilog HDL description has been developed for this solution. The description has been synthesized and implemented in FPGAs from Xilinx.application/pdfengAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObjectinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttp://dx.doi.org/10.1109/ICECS.2014.7050040
