Claim 9:
10. The method of claim 4, further comprising:
executing said CNN image processing routine by:
in said step (b), acquiring said plurality of images by said imaging sub-system, and
in said step (d), applying a sliding window routine to said plurality of images to slice each image of said plurality thereof into sub-images,
applying a binary knuckle detection CNN classification model to determine a sub-image containing a target knuckle,
generating a rough localization of the target knuckle in said sub-image,
computing a final localization of the target knuckle by applying a pixel-based k-means clustering routine to said rough localization, and
applying a template matching routine to generate said cutline in an XY plane.
