Abstract

Efficient feature extraction strategies play an important role in palmprint recognition systems. Among various feature extraction methods, orientation methods such as Competitive Code and Half Orientation Code are the baseline ones. They encode responses of a bank of orientational filters into a binary representation and can match a test palmprint sample in real-time with a relatively good accuracy. However, they use the orientation information based upon this idea that palmprints encompass only straight lines with different orientations, whereas in reality, the majority of palm’s lines are curved. This observation naturally brings the idea that the concavity and orientation features as different aspects of palmprints curves might provide more reliable and discriminative representations in palmprint recognition. Motivated by this idea, in this work we investigate the use of the concavity feature in different orientations for palmprint recognition. The experimental results, which are applied on PolyU II, 2D/3D PolyU, and blue and near infrared range images from Multispectral PolyU palmprint databases prove the efficiency of this idea compared to other coding-based methods.
