Mobile Fingerprint Identification Using a Hardware Accelerated Biometric Service Provider

摘要

This paper describes a BioAPI compatible Architecture for mobile biometric fingerprint identification and verification, based on a XML Web Service and a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). We present a client-server system that uses a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) with a built-in fingerprint sensor and wireless LAN (WLAN) connectivity as a mobile client, and a Biometric Service Provider (BSP) running as a BioAPI compatible XML Web Service on the server side. BioAPI high level functions enrolment, identification and verification are implemented using BSP primitives, capture, process, cre-atetemplate, verifymatch, and identifymatch that are partially hardware implemented using Handel-C and the Celoxica RC1000-PP platform.
