Hardware Acceleration of Fingerprint Data Processing
Abstract:
A method includes identifying, within an image that represents a fingerprint, a plurality of keypoints. The method also includes determining a plurality of pixel vectors by transforming, for each respective keypoint, a corresponding two-dimensional (2D) array of pixel values associated with the respective keypoint into a corresponding pixel vector, and obtaining a plurality of filter vectors that represent, for each respective filter of a plurality of filters, a transformation of a corresponding 2D array of filter values of the respective filter into a corresponding filter vector. The method additionally includes convolving the plurality of keypoints with the plurality of filters by multiplying, using a tensor processing hardware, a pixel matrix formed by the plurality of pixel vectors and a filter matrix formed by the plurality of filter vectors, and determining, based on the convolving, a representation of the fingerprint.
