Biometrics identification is an emerging technology for solving security problems in our networked society. A new branch of biometric technology, palmprint recognition, whereby the lines and points can be extracted from our palm for personal identification was proposed several years ago [1-6]. In this paper, we implement the feature extraction technique applied to iris recognition [7] on low – ...

This paper presents a novel image descriptor called Derivative Variation Pattern (DVP) and its application to face and palmprint recognition. DVP captures image variations in both the frequency and the spatial domains. The effects of uncontrolled illumination are compensated in the frequency domain by discarding the illumination affected frequencies. Image pixels are encoded as binary patterns ...

Palmprint recognition refers to recognizing a person on the basis of palmprint features. In this paper, we have proposed a palmprint based biometric authentication method with improvement in accuracy, so as to make it a real time palmprint authentication system. Several edge detection methods, Directional operator, Wavelet transform, Fourier transform etc. are available to extract line feature ...

This paper presents a novel approach for enhancing palmprint image. Enhancement is a preprocessing step used to modify the contrast of the image and remove the noise. Traditional Histogram equalization techniques improve the contrast of the image but introduce spurious noise. Palmprint consists of fine features. In order to extract fine features from the palmprint image, enhancement has to be d...

Palmprints have been widely studied for biometric recognition for many years. Traditionally, a white light source is used for illumination. Recently, multispectral imaging has drawn attention because of its high recognition accuracy. Multispectral palmprint systems can provide more discriminant information under different illuminations in a short time, thus they can achieve better recognition a...

Biometric identi cation is an emerging technology that can solve security problems in our networked society. A few years ago, a new branch of biometric technology, palmprint authentication, was proposed (Pattern Recognition 32(4) (1999) 691) whereby lines and points are extracted from palms for personal identi cation. In this paper, we consider the palmprint as a piece of texture and apply text...

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 ...

Biometrics based on palmprint has been developing fast in the past ten years. The newly proposed hyperspectral imaging can provide high accuracy and abundant information about the palms and the tissues, veins underneath. However, due to the limitations of computation speed and storage, we have to select the most representative bands for palmprint recognition. This paper proposes a band selectio...

Biometrics-based personal identification is regarded as an effective method for automatically recognizing, with a high confidence, a person’s identity. This paper presents a new biometric approach to online personal identification using palmprint technology. In contrast to the existing methods, our online palmprint identification system employs low-resolution palmprint images to achieve effecti...

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 selecti...
