Abstract

This paper discusses a comprehensive review of the previous research in the field of the finger vein recognition system with a focus on finger vein enhancements and features extraction advances and shortcomings. It starts with a general introduction of the biometric system followed by detailed descriptions on finger vein identification, and its architecture archival of it, which includes image acquisition, preprocessing of the image, feature extraction, and vein matching. This study focuses on related work proposed by previous researchers, issues in the field that originated from the related work, and a discussion of each of the issues associated and the proposed solutions to each of them. Next a comprehensive discussion on the advances and shortcomings of the existing techniques based on the qualities, capturing device, database, and feature of that quality is presented. Accurate comparisons between existing techniques are presented as tables to make it easy for new researchers to come up with advances and drawbacks of each technique without spending time on all existing research in this area.
