W.f. Aswad, Sh. K. Guirguis, M. Z. Rashad . Investigation of Efficiency of using Minutiae Detection Method for Finger Vein Recognition and Matching. International Journal of Computer Applications. 114, 10 ( March 2015), 15-19. DOI=10.5120/20014-1985
Finger vein recognition is a method of biometric authentication which is a promising biometric recognition technology used to recognize the individuals, to verify their identity and is one of many famous kinds of biometrics. With the increasing demand for fast and accurate biometric identification and matching solutions, researchers have been busy trying to develop new ways and algorithms to digitize and match biometric features of human body. This paper will extend one of the current methods by combining it with conventional method used in fingerprint for minutiae extraction to extract the minutiae points of finger vein Based on: 1- Finger region localization 2- Miura et al. vein extraction method 3- Fingerprint Minutiae Extraction The minutiae points are going to be used for the authentication system that requires only points to be stored on its own database. Experimentation has been conducted to monitor each step till the minutiae points were extracted . By matching these points for each individual, authentication system will be faster and accurate.
