Fourier spectral of PalmCode as descriptor for palmprint recognition

Study on automatic person recognition by palmprint is currently a hot topic. In this paper, we propose a novel palmprint recognition method by transforming the typical palmprint phase code feature into its Fourier frequency domain. The resulting real-valued Fourier spectral features are further processed by horizontal and vertical 2DPCA method, which proves highly efficient in terms of computational complexity, storage requirement and recognition accuracy. This paper also gives a contrast study on palm code and competitive code under the proposed feature extraction framework. Besides, experimental results on the Hongkong PolyU Palmprint database demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms many currently reported local Gabor pattern approaches for palmprint recognition

A Survey Paper on Palm Prints Based Biometric Authentication System

In this paper we are providing an approach for authentication using palm prints. Reliability in computer aided personal authentication is becoming increasingly important in the information-based world, for effective security system. Biometrics is physiological characteristics of human beings, unique for every individual that are usually time invariant and easy to acquire. Palm print is one of the relatively new physiological biometrics due to its stable and unique characteristics. The rich information of palm print offers one of the powerful means in personal recognition

A Review on Palm Print Recognition System

Biometrics based authentication and recognition system helps to identify individuals based on various behavior and physical characteristics, which can be used for their unique personal identifications. Various physical characteristics like iris patterns, facial features, fingerprint patterns, retina patterns, palmprint patterns etc. are utilized for such identification purposes, Palm print recognition is counted as most suitable and reliable biometric recognition system because of its merits, such as user friendliness, low cost, high accuracy and high speed. A system that uses palmprint as recognize individuals involves the matching of the various principal lines, creases and wrinkles on the palm surface. Since the random orientations of muscles and tissues of the hand create the palmprint patterns during birth, these patterns are unique so no two palmprint patterns are exactly same for any individuals. This paper provides a detailed overview of palmprint recognition approaches, by describing the various steps and processing involve in palmprint identification

Dual-tree Complex Wavelet Transform based Local Binary Pattern Weighted Histogram Method for Palmprint Recognition

In the paper, we improve the Local Binary Pattern Histogram (LBPH) approach and combine it with Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (DT-CWT) to propose a Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Transform based Local Binary Pattern Weighted Histogram (DT-CWT based LBPWH) method for palmprint representation and recognition. The approximate shift invariant property of the DT-CWT and its good directional selectively in 2D make it a very appealing choice for palmprint representation. LBPH is a powerful texture description method, which considers both shape and texture information to represent an image. To enhance the representation capability of LBPH, a weight set is computed and assigned to the finial feature histogram. Here we needn't construct a palmprint model by a train sample set, which is not like some methods based on subspace discriminant analysis or statistical learning. In the approach, a palmprint image is first decomposed into multiple subbands by using DT-CWT. After that, each subband in complex wavelet domain is divided into non-overlapping sub-regions. Then LBPHs are extracted from each sub-region in each subband, and lastly, all of LBPHs are weighted and concatenated into a single feature histogram to effectively represent the palmprint image. A Chi square distance is used to measure the similarity of different feature histograms and the finial recognition is performed by the nearest neighborhood classifier. A group of optimal parameters is chosen by 20 verification tests on our palmprint database. In addition, the recognition results on our palmprint database and the database from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University show the proposed method outperforms other methods
