Abstract
A method of processing a fingerprint image in an electronic apparatus includes: obtaining an original fingerprint image by sensing a fingerprint of a user; estimating a spatial change trend of original contrast values in the original fingerprint image; generating a reference contrast map based on the estimated spatial change trend; normalizing a contrast distribution of the original fingerprint image based on the reference contrast map, and generating a normalization fingerprint image having a normalized contrast distribution.
