By far, many different handbased recognition algorithms have been developed. This paper presents a comparative study to evaluate the performance of three state of the art hand-based recognition methods. Using the University of Nevada at Reno (UNR) and the University of Notre Dame (UND) hand databases, we compare a geometricbased method, a component-based approach using Zernike moments, and an algorithm employing 3D finger surface features. Both recognition and authentication experiments have been conducted to investigate the performance and robustness of the three methods. Our experimental results show that Zernike descriptors yield features that are more robust and accurate compared to hand geometric features and 3D finger surface features.","PeriodicalId":174704,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Workshop on Emerging Techniques and Challenges for Hand-Based Biometrics","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123737805","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Factors related to the acquisition device (e.g. dirty scanner surface) or the usersensor interaction process (e.g. hand positioning) can degrade the quality of the acquired sample. Therefore, upon capture of a hand sample it is important to assess its validity. In this paper, an invalid sample detection module based on geometric constraints is presented. The experimental setup consists of a hand geometry verification system tested in two different acquisition scenarios: BiosecurID (400 users, scanner) and Biosecure (210 users, camera). Results confirm a noticeable improvement in the system performance as the fraction of nvalid samples rejected increases. In particular, discarding about 5 percent of the images in BiosecurID produces an improvement from 2.8 % EER to 0.1 % EER.","PeriodicalId":174704,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Workshop on Emerging Techniques and Challenges for Hand-Based Biometrics","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114218783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To reduce the high dimensionality, ant colony optimization algorithm is applied to select relevant, distinctive and reduced feature set from Gabor responses. Finally, the reduced set of features is trained with support vector machines and accomplished user recognition tasks. For evaluation, CASIA multispectral palmprint database is used.

Recently, it is found that the finger-knuckle-print (FKP), which refers to the inherent skin patterns of the outer surface around the phalangeal joint of one's finger, can serve as a distinctive biometric identifier. In this paper, a novel feature extraction and coding method, namely MonogenicCode, is presented based on the monogenic signal theory, and is applied to FKP recognition. For each image pixel, the associated MonogenicCode is a 3-bits vector obtained by binarizing the monogenic signal at this position, and it can reflect the local phase and orientation information at that position. Experiments conducted on our established FKP database indicate that this new method achieves competitive verification accuracy with state-of-the-art methods, while it needs the least time for feature extraction, making it the best choice for real-time applications.","PeriodicalId":174704,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Workshop on Emerging Techniques and Challenges for Hand-Based Biometrics","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132744185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We first utilize a manifold learning method to find the local embedding subspaces of palmprint and middle finger images, and then use principal component analysis (PCA) to extract the concatenated feature. To do so, a well performance could be obtained for the reason that the local structures of single model biometrics are preserved, while the redundancies between them are reduced. Comparing with single modal biometrics and score level fusion, the experimental results illustrated the average recognition rate of the proposed approach was significantly promoted to 98.71%.
