Identity Recognition based on Palmprints: The Preliminary Results

Abstract

Private and automatic recognition in many applications, such as forensic, access control, and surveillance systems, has become necessary in recent years. Biometrics, which treats individuals' identification based on physical or behavioral characteristics, has emerged as an effective automated identification technology, offering more properties and advantages than conventional protection. The use of palmprints in biometric authentication has dramatically increased and has been used extensively in management systems for businesses, Internet of Thinks, and individuals. In this field, the palmprint is considered a new modality, a unique entity that is stable over time and has a rich information structure. As part of this work, the local binary pattern descriptor (LBP) was used and tested under several configurations to extract the palmprint modality's optimal and efficient characteristics. As preliminary results, our experiments on the IITD Palmprint V1 database exhibit impressive performance.
