ABSTRACT
We propose to replace the background data in finger vein imagery by uniform gray data and implications on (i) achieved lossless compression performance and (ii) obtained recognition accuracy in case of lossy compression are determined to employ 2 public datasets. Results indicate that replacement of original background by uniform one is definitely profitable for lossless compression, while the lossy case with impact on recognition accuracy has to be handled with caution as introduced sharp edges between finger area and background lead to artifacts which in turn degrade recognition performance. After having smoothed those areas, recognition performance is improved when replacing background for all settings.
