The invention discloses a
finger vein recognition method fusing local features and global features. At present, a number of
vein recognition methods adopt the local features of a
vein image, so that the recognition precision of the
vein recognition methods is greatly affected by the quality of the image; the phenomena of rejection and
false recognition are liable to appear. The
finger vein recognition method provided by the invention comprises the following steps: firstly, performing pretreatment operations such as finger area extraction of a read-in finger vein image, binarization and the like; then, according to the
point set of extracted detail features, realizing the matching of the local features within a certain angle and a certain
radius by virtue of a flexible matching-based local
feature recognition module; using a global
feature recognition module for vein image recognition to realize the matching of the global features as the global
feature recognition module is used for analyzing bidirectional two-dimensional principal components and can better display a two-dimensional image
data set on the whole; finally, designing weights according to the correct recognition rates of the two recognition methods, performing decision-
level fusion to the results of two classifiers, and taking the fused result as a final recognition result. The method is applied to
finger vein recognition.
