Abstract
Biometric systems are being widely used today for automated authentication purposes. In particular, vascular biometrics or vein recognition is receiving a large amount of attention because of its several advantages related to security and convenience. However, images containing vein patterns normally include more information than just those structural arrangements. Thus, we propose a finger-vein biometric system based exclusively on textural features to evaluate the usefulness of the remaining information around vein patters. Textural features are obtained through gray-level co-occurrence matrices from the wavelet detail coefficients belonging to finger-vein images. The evaluation of the proposed biometric system is based on a standardized finger-vein database and its results show favorable improvements on the finger-vein authentication accuracy when textural features are incorporated in the biometric process.
