       abstract = {The accuracy of finger vein recognition systems gets degraded due to low and uneven contrast between veins and
surroundings, often resulting in poor detection of vein patterns. We propose a finger-vein enhancement technique,
ResFPN (Residual Feature Pyramid Network), as a generic preprocessing method agnostic to the recognition pipeline.
A bottom-up pyramidal architecture using the novel Structure Detection block (SDBlock) facilitates extraction of
veins of varied widths. Using a feature aggregation module (FAM), we combine these vein-structures, and train the
proposed ResFPN for detection of veins across scales. With enhanced presentations, our experiments indicate a reduction upto 5\% in the average recognition errors for commonly used recognition pipeline over two publicly available datasets. These improvements are persistent even in cross-dataset scenario where the dataset used to train the ResFPN is different from the one used for recognition.},
