Abstract
A method and an apparatus for calibrating a fingerprint image, and a terminal, are provided. The method for calibrating a fingerprint image includes steps of: obtaining prestored information about a non-fingerprint image; and collecting a fingerprint image, and calibrating the fingerprint image according to the information about the non-fingerprint image. The method can remove a non-fingerprint image part from a collected fingerprint image and improve accuracy of the collected fingerprint image, thereby improving a fingerprint recognition effect.
