Abstract

In this paper the outline of complete vein pattern recognition system is introduced. An innovative method for finger vein image binarization is given in detail. The main purposes in the developed method are: lower time consuming comparing to other methods, simplicity and promising results achievement in spite of working with low contrast images. Both the algorithm and the experimental results of the pattern extraction are presented in detail. The achieved results are compared with other binarization techniques to show the superiority of the worked out algorithm over the others. The algorithm has proved to be of less computational complexity and easier implementation.
