In this paper,a novel SoPC design of automated fingerprint identification system is presented.The SoPC system is partitioned as hardware part and software part,while the time-consuming process is implemented by hardware and the others is achieved by software.This optimization significantly improved system's processing speed,for example,a rate of fingerprint image preprocessing can complete within 1.5 s and a whole fingerprint image comparison just need 3 s.The system of modular design and simulation is realized by Quartus II software,while the Nios Ⅱ IDE is used to complete the software code.The whole design is implemented on DE2,an Altera's Cyclone II FPGA based development board.
