An Efficient Secure Multimodal Biometric Fusion Using Palmprint and Face Image
Biometrics based personal identification is regarded as an effective method for automatically recognizing, with a high confidence a person’s identity. A multimodal biometric systems consolidate the evidence presented by multiple biometric sources and typically better recognition performance compare to system based on a single biometric modality. This paper proposes an authentication method for a multimodal biometric system identification using two traits i.e. face and palmprint. The proposed system is designed for application where the training data contains a face and palmprint. Integrating the palmprint and face features increases robustness of the person authentication. The final decision is made by fusion at matching score level architecture in which features vectors are created independently for query measures and are then compared to the enrolment template, which are stored during database preparation. Multimodal biometric system is developed through fusion of face and palmprint recognition
Multispectral Palmprint Recognition Using Textural Features
In order to utilize identification to the best extent, we need robust and
fast algorithms and systems to process the data. Having palmprint as a reliable
and unique characteristic of every person, we extract and use its features
based on its geometry, lines and angles. There are countless ways to define
measures for the recognition task. To analyze a new point of view, we extracted
textural features and used them for palmprint recognition. Co-occurrence matrix
can be used for textural feature extraction. As classifiers, we have used the
minimum distance classifier (MDC) and the weighted majority voting system
(WMV). The proposed method is tested on a well-known multispectral palmprint
dataset of 6000 samples and an accuracy rate of 99.96-100% is obtained for most
scenarios which outperforms all previous works in multispectral palmprint
recognition.Comment: 5 pages, Published in IEEE Signal Processing in Medicine and Biology

Multispectral Palmprint Encoding and Recognition
Palmprints are emerging as a new entity in multi-modal biometrics for human
identification and verification. Multispectral palmprint images captured in the
visible and infrared spectrum not only contain the wrinkles and ridge structure
of a palm, but also the underlying pattern of veins; making them a highly
discriminating biometric identifier. In this paper, we propose a feature
encoding scheme for robust and highly accurate representation and matching of
multispectral palmprints. To facilitate compact storage of the feature, we
design a binary hash table structure that allows for efficient matching in
large databases. Comprehensive experiments for both identification and
verification scenarios are performed on two public datasets -- one captured
with a contact-based sensor (PolyU dataset), and the other with a contact-free
sensor (CASIA dataset). Recognition results in various experimental setups show
that the proposed method consistently outperforms existing state-of-the-art
methods. Error rates achieved by our method (0.003% on PolyU and 0.2% on CASIA)
are the lowest reported in literature on both dataset and clearly indicate the
viability of palmprint as a reliable and promising biometric. All source codes
are publicly available.Comment: Preliminary version of this manuscript was published in ICCV 2011. Z.

Composite Fixed-Length Ordered Features for Palmprint Template Protection with Diminished Performance Loss
Palmprint recognition has become more and more popular due to its advantages
over other biometric modalities such as fingerprint, in that it is larger in
area, richer in information and able to work at a distance. However, the issue
of palmprint privacy and security (especially palmprint template protection)
remains under-studied. Among the very few research works, most of them only use
the directional and orientation features of the palmprint with transformation
processing, yielding unsatisfactory protection and identification performance.
Thus, this paper proposes a palmprint template protection-oriented operator
that has a fixed length and is ordered in nature, by fusing point features and
orientation features. Firstly, double orientations are extracted with more
accuracy based on MFRAT. Then key points of SURF are extracted and converted to
be fixed-length and ordered features. Finally, composite features that fuse up
the double orientations and SURF points are transformed using the irreversible
transformation of IOM to generate the revocable palmprint template. Experiments
show that the EER after irreversible transformation on the PolyU and CASIA
databases are 0.17% and 0.19% respectively, and the absolute precision loss is
0.08% and 0.07%, respectively, which proves the advantage of our method
