However, because of the limitations of image acquisition devices, the uncertainties in the illumination intensity and the complexity of the tissue around the finger vessels (among other factors)even after image processing cause the resulting grayscale images to possess irregular shadows and non-venous characteristics, which may reduce the accuracy of the recognition results. Therefore, this paper proposed a new f
