Palmprint verification is an approach for verifying a palmprint input by matching the input to the claimed identity template stored in a database. If the dissimilarity measure between the input and the claimed template is below the predefined threshold value, the palmprint input is verified possessing same identity as the claimed identity template. This paper introduces an experimental evaluati...

Palmprint is one of the relatively new physiological biometrics due to its stable and unique characteristics. The rich texture information of palmprint offers one of the powerful means in personal recognition. According to psycho-physiology study, the primary visual cortex in the visual area of human brain is responsible for creating the basis of a three-dimensional map of visual space, and ext...

Biometric system based on unimodel biometrics are not able to meet the desired performance requirements for security purpose due to problems such as intra-class variations, noisy data, unacceptable error rates and low performance. Multimodal biometrics refers to the use of two or more biometrics modalities in a single identification system. The combination of different modalities is used to imp...

Automic palmprint verification is an important complement of biometric authentication. As the first attempt of personal identification by palmprint, this paper explores different methods for three main processing stages in palmprint verification including datum point registration, line feature extraction and palmprint classification. The datum points of palmprint which have the remarkable advan...

a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t In this paper, a new and simple palmprint recognition solution based on sparse representation is suggested. It is shown that when the aim is to recover a palmprint from a limited number of observations as a linear combination of measurements of the same palmprint class, the ensuing representation in intrinsically very sparse. It can be efficiently computed ...

Most of the previous research using palmprint as a biometric trait for personal authentication has concentrated on enhancing accuracy. In this paper, to speed up the recognition process, we propose a novel method using the statistical line based approach to improve the efficiency of the Palm Code. Normally, palm codes from different palm images are similar. The structural similarities between p...

Recently, palmvein recognition has been attracting much research interest. The joint use of palmprint and palmvein features can effectively increase the accuracy, robustness of palm based biometric techniques. And, as it is an inner vessel structure feature, palmveins can increase the anti-spoof and liveness detection capability of a palm based biometric system. However, lack of techniques to s...

Advancements in technology have created the possibility of greater assurance of proper travel document ownership, but some concerns regarding security and effectiveness remain unaddressed. Electronic passports have known a wide and fast deployment all around the world since the International Civil Aviation Organization the world has adopted standards whereby passports can store biometric identi...
