Popis: The performance of the Fingerprint recognition system will be more accurate with respect of enhancement for the fingerprint images. In this paper we develop a novel method for Fingerprint image contrast enhancement technique based on the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and singular value decomposition (SVD) has been proposed. This technique is compared with conventional image equalization techniques such as standard general histogram equalization and local histogram equalization. An automatic histogram threshold approach based on a fuzziness measure is presented. Then, using an index of fuzziness, a similarity process is started to find the threshold point. A significant contrast between ridges and valleys of the best, medium and poor finger image features to extract from finger images and get maximum recognition rate using fuzzy measures. The experimental results show the recognition of superiority of the proposed method to get maximum performance up gradation to the implementation of this approach.
