Multi-spectral palmprint recognition based on oriented multiscale log-Gabor filters
Among several palmprint recognition methods proposed recently, coding-based approaches using multi-spectral palmprint images are attractive owing to their high recognition rates. Aiming to further improve the performance of these approaches, this paper presents a novel multi-spectral palmprint recognition approach based on oriented multiscale log-Gabor filters. The proposed method aims to enhance the recognition performances by proposing novel solutions at three stages of the recognition process. Inspired by the bitwise competitive coding, the feature extraction employs a multi-resolution log-Gabor filtering where the final feature map is composed of the winning codes of the lowest filters’ bank response. The matching process employs a bitwise Hamming distance and Kullback–Leibler divergence as novel metrics to enable an efficient capture of the intra- and inter-similarities between palmprint feature maps. Finally, the decision stage is carried pout using a fusion of the scores generated from different spectral bands to reduce overlapping. In addition, a fusion of the feature maps through two proposed novel feature fusion techniques to allow us to eliminate the inherent redundancy of the features of neighboring spectral bands is also proposed. The experimental results obtained using the multi-spectral palmprint database MS-PolyU have shown that the proposed method achieves high accuracy in mono-spectral and multi-spectral recognition performances for both verification and identification modes; and also outperforms the state-of-the-art methods

The fundamentals of unimodal palmprint authentication based on a biometric system: A review
Biometric system can be defined as the automated method of identifying or authenticating the identity of a living person based on physiological or behavioral traits. Palmprint biometric-based authentication has gained considerable attention in recent years. Globally, enterprises have been exploring biometric authorization for some time, for the purpose of security, payment processing, law enforcement CCTV systems, and even access to offices, buildings, and gyms via the entry doors. Palmprint biometric system can be divided into unimodal and multimodal. This paper will investigate the biometric system and provide a detailed overview of the palmprint technology with existing recognition approaches. Finally, we introduce a review of previous works based on a unimodal palmprint system using different databases
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
Fourier-based Rotation-invariant Feature Boosting: An Efficient Framework for Geospatial Object Detection
Geospatial object detection of remote sensing imagery has been attracting an
increasing interest in recent years, due to the rapid development in spaceborne
imaging. Most of previously proposed object detectors are very sensitive to
object deformations, such as scaling and rotation. To this end, we propose a
novel and efficient framework for geospatial object detection in this letter,
called Fourier-based rotation-invariant feature boosting (FRIFB). A
Fourier-based rotation-invariant feature is first generated in polar
coordinate. Then, the extracted features can be further structurally refined
using aggregate channel features. This leads to a faster feature computation
and more robust feature representation, which is good fitting for the coming
boosting learning. Finally, in the test phase, we achieve a fast pyramid
feature extraction by estimating a scale factor instead of directly collecting
all features from image pyramid. Extensive experiments are conducted on two
subsets of NWPU VHR-10 dataset, demonstrating the superiority and effectiveness
of the FRIFB compared to previous state-of-the-art methods
