In the fingertip blood automatic sampling process, when the blood sampling point in the fingertip venous area, it will greatly increase the amount of bleeding without being squeezed. In order to accurately locate the blood sampling point in the venous area, we propose a new finger vein image segmentation approach basing on Gabor transform and Gaussian mixed model (GMM). Firstly, Gabor filter parameter can be set adaptively according to the differential excitation of image and we use the local binary pattern (LBP) to fuse the same-scale and multi-orientation Gabor features of the image. Then, finger vein image segmentation is achieved by Gabor-GMM system and optimized by the max flow min cut method which is based on the relative entropy of the foreground and the background. Finally, the blood sampling point can be localized with corner detection. The experimental results show that the proposed approach has significant performance in segmenting finger vein images which the average accuracy of segmentation images reach 91.6%.
