A Novel Biometric Image Enhancement Approach With the Hybridization of Undecimated Wavelet Transform and Deep Autoencoder

For a long time, image enhancement techniques have been widely used to improve the image quality in many image processing applications. Recently, deep learning models have been applied to image enhancement problems with great success. In the domain of biometric, fingerprint and face play a vital role to authenticate a person in the right way. Hence, the enhancement of these images significantly improves the recognition rate. In this chapter, undecimated wavelet transform (UDWT) and deep autoencoder are hydridized to enhance the quality of images. Initially, the images are decomposed with Daubechies wavelet filter. Then, deep autoencoder is trained to minimize the error between reconstructed and actual input. The experiments have been conducted on real-time fingerprint and face images collected from 150 subjects, each with 10 orientations. The signal to noise ratio (SNR), peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), mean square error (MSE), and root mean square error (RMSE) have been computed and compared. It was observed that the proposed model produced a biometric image with high quality.
