Abstract

Palmprint has been widely studied as its high accuracy and low cost. Most of the previous studies are based on two dimensional (2D) image of the palmprint. However, 2D image can be easily forged, which will threaten the security of palmprint authentication system. Furthermore, 2D image can be easily affected by noise, such as scrabbling and dirty in the palm. To overcome these shortcomings, we develop a three dimensional (3D) palmprint identification system. The structured-light imaging technology is adopted to collect the 3D palmprint data, from which the stable Mean Curvature Image (MCI) is extracted. Then the Competitive Coding (CompCode) technique is used to code the 3D palmprint pattern according the MCI. By using score level fusion of MCI and its CompCode, promising recognition performance is achieved on our established 3D palmprint database.
