A fingerprint collection method includes: acquiring, by a fingerprint collector, a fingerprint image of a user; if an average value of the fingerprint image is not in a preset average value range, automatically adjusting a gain of the fingerprint collector, to make an average value of a reacquired fingerprint image approximate the preset average value range; if the average value of the fingerprint image is in the preset average value range, but a variance of the fingerprint image is less than a preset variance threshold, automatically increasing sensitivity of the fingerprint collector, to make a variance of the fingerprint collector accordingly increase; and outputting only a fingerprint image whose average value is in the preset average value range and whose variance is greater than the preset variance threshold.
