Abstract

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 advantage of invariable location are defined and their determination method using the directional projection algorithm is improved. Then, line feature extraction and line matching method is described to detect whether a couple of palmprints are from the same palm. In addition, palmprint classification method based on the orientation property of the ridges is discussed to distinguish six typical cases. Various palmprint images have been tested to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
