Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel scheme to get a pattern of Finger Veins from the original image. The central point of this paper is how to extract Finger-vein ridges from the background surface. For this purpose, we implement dual contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (DCLAHE) method, which is used for enhancing the grayscale color intensity values. After improving the image contrast, we apply an Otsu thresholding algorithm in canny edge detection to obtain optimal edges for a Finger-vein. Investigational end results show a precise binary representation of the vein pattern.

Keywords
