A Robust and Rapid Image Preprocessing Method for Finger Vein

Abstract:

In order to achieve robust and rapid image preprocessing for finger vein, this paper presents a robust and rapid image preprocessing method. With this method, locating & cropping, normalization, equalization and filtering are executed step by step. Then, quality assessment is done to exclude the images of low quality. The results of simulate experiments show that this method is effective and it is able to ensure reliable feature extraction.
