摘要：It has been found that poor quality images decrease the performance of finger vein recognition system, due to missing, vague or spurious features. Therefore, it is important for a finger vein recognition system to evaluate the quality of finger vein images. In this paper, a new method based on Support Vector Regression (SVR) is proposed for finger vein image quality evaluation. In our method, we first manually annotate quality scores for finger vein images in training set and extract five quality features of these images. Then quality scores and quality features are used to build a SVR model, which will be applied to evaluate quality for testing images. In addition, we explore the use of quality score and ascertain that quality score can be used as ancillary information to enhance recognition accuracy for finger vein. Experimental results show that our proposed method is effective for finger vein image quality evaluation
