Denoising Fingerprint Image Using An Improved Wavelet Threshold Function Method by PI Lu, DENG Caixia, LI Xueqing, LIN Qing

“…Simulation experiments show that using the new threshold function to remove salt-and-pepper noise and Gaussian noise in fingerprint images during the wavelet threshold denoising process results in lower root mean square error and degree of distortion compared to using traditional and improved threshold functions, while increasing peak signal to noise ratio, correlation coefficient, and structural similarity index measure. This not only provides a method to improve the threshold function, but also offers an effective means for improving the denoising quality of fingerprint images.…”
