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
Palmprint Recognition in Uncontrolled and Uncooperative Environment
Online palmprint recognition and latent palmprint identification are two
branches of palmprint studies. The former uses middle-resolution images
collected by a digital camera in a well-controlled or contact-based environment
with user cooperation for commercial applications and the latter uses
high-resolution latent palmprints collected in crime scenes for forensic
investigation. However, these two branches do not cover some palmprint images
which have the potential for forensic investigation. Due to the prevalence of
smartphone and consumer camera, more evidence is in the form of digital images
taken in uncontrolled and uncooperative environment, e.g., child pornographic
images and terrorist images, where the criminals commonly hide or cover their
face. However, their palms can be observable. To study palmprint identification
on images collected in uncontrolled and uncooperative environment, a new
palmprint database is established and an end-to-end deep learning algorithm is
proposed. The new database named NTU Palmprints from the Internet (NTU-PI-v1)
contains 7881 images from 2035 palms collected from the Internet. The proposed
algorithm consists of an alignment network and a feature extraction network and
is end-to-end trainable. The proposed algorithm is compared with the
state-of-the-art online palmprint recognition methods and evaluated on three
public contactless palmprint databases, IITD, CASIA, and PolyU and two new
databases, NTU-PI-v1 and NTU contactless palmprint database. The experimental
results showed that the proposed algorithm outperforms the existing palmprint
recognition methods.Comment: Accepted in the IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and

Multimodal Biometrics Enhancement Recognition System based on Fusion of Fingerprint and PalmPrint: A Review
This article is an overview of a current multimodal biometrics research based on fingerprint and palm-print. It explains the pervious study for each modal separately and its fusion technique with another biometric modal. The basic biometric system consists of four stages: firstly, the sensor which is used for enrolmen
Palmprint Gender Classification Using Deep Learning Methods
Gender identification is an important technique that can improve the performance of authentication systems by reducing searching space and speeding up the matching process. Several biometric traits have been used to ascertain human gender. Among them, the human palmprint possesses several discriminating features such as principal-lines, wrinkles, ridges, and minutiae features and that offer cues for gender identification. The goal of this work is to develop novel deep-learning techniques to determine gender from palmprint images. PolyU and CASIA palmprint databases with 90,000 and 5502 images respectively were used for training and testing purposes in this research. After ROI extraction and data augmentation were performed, various convolutional and deep learning-based classification approaches were empirically designed, optimized, and tested. Results of gender classification as high as 94.87% were achieved on the PolyU palmprint database and 90.70% accuracy on the CASIA palmprint database. Optimal performance was achieved by combining two different pre-trained and fine-tuned deep CNNs (VGGNet and DenseNet) through score level average fusion. In addition, Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping (Grad-CAM) was also implemented to ascertain which specific regions of the palmprint are most discriminative for gender classification
