An important step in automatic fingerprint recognition systems is the segmentation of fingerprint images. In this paper, we present an adaptive algorithm based on Gaussian-Hermite moments for non-uniform background removing in fingerprint image segmentation. Gaussian-Hermite moments can better separate image features based on different modes. We use Gaussian-Hermite moments of different orders to separate background and foreground of fingerprint image. Experimental results show that the use of Gaussian-Hermite moments makes a significant improvement for the segmentation of fingerprint images. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
