In this paper, we propose a novel robust line orientation code for palmprint verification,
whose performance is improved by using three strategies. Firstly, a modified finite Radon …

In this paper, a novel heuristic structure optimization methodology for radial basis
probabilistic neural networks (RBPNNs) is proposed. First, a minimum volume covering …

The development of accurate and robust palmprint verification algorithms is a critical issue in
automatic palmprint authentication systems. Among various palmprint verification …

This paper investigates a new approach for personal authentication using fingerback
surface imaging. The texture pattern produced by the finger knuckle bending is highly …

Recently, biometric palmprint has received wide attention from researchers. It is well-known
for several advantages such as stable line features, low-resolution imaging, low-cost …

Subspace learning methods are very sensitive to the illumination, translation, and rotation
variances in image recognition. Thus, they have not obtained promising performance for …

This paper proposes a new bimodal biometric system using feature-level fusion of hand
shape and palm texture. The proposed combination is of significance since both the …

In the field of image processing and recognition, discrete cosine transform (DCT) and linear
discrimination are two widely used techniques. Based on them, we present a new face and …

Among the members of biometric identifiers, the palmprint and the palmvein have received
significant attention due to their stability, uniqueness, and non-intrusiveness. In this paper …

Palmprint recognition and palm vein recognition are two emerging biometrics technologies.
In the past two decades, many traditional methods have been proposed for palmprint …
