How to Implement a Fingerprint Recognition Algorithm into a Wearable Device

This work describes how to implement a fingerprint recognition algorithm into an ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller included in a Texas Instruments LaunchPad CC2650 evaluation kit. The application context is the realization of a wearable device for biometrics security. On the one hand, the students become familiar with wearable devices whose basic component is a low power microcontroller. On the other hand, the students learn about a security application based on fingerprint recognition, which employs typical operations of image processing.
