Abstract
The present invention generally relates to a method for removing disturbances in an image captured by a fingerprint sensor, and specifically to reduction of noise in an acquired fingerprint image by incorporating the sensing principle into the applied method for noise reduction, wherein the noise reduced image is used for determining a representation of a fingerprint pattern. Advantages with the invention include enhanced determination of fingerprint patterns from fingerprint images captured using a fingerprint sensor. The invention also relates to a corresponding electronic device and to a computer program product.
