An easy-to-capture biometric modality that could work well with a commodity camera is palmprint. It has coarse lines which can be easily detected using a low resolution camera. To achieve superior recognition results, an accurate segmentation of region of interest is very crucial. In this work, a novel palmprint ROI extraction algorithm has been presented which extracts a fixed size region from a full hand image. The proposed approach segments the region of interest which is invariant to the angle between the fingers. Firstly, we detect the palm region and segment it from full hand image and mark it as ROI. After the ROI extraction, the features are extracted by fusing the BSIF and BRISK features. Finally, the classification is performed by sparse representation classifier (SRC). We have validated the proposed approach on dataset which contains various images of hand at different angle between the fingers. The proposed method had successfully resolved the issues of ROI extraction at different angle between the fingers, and experimental results shows that the proposed approach has successfully achieved the accuracy of 90%.","PeriodicalId":262486,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Then we fine-tune two pre-trained convolutional neural network models on fingerprint images. Finally, we compare these three models: two pre-trained models and a custom convolutional neural network model initialised with random weights. We show that pre-trained models can achieve the state-of-the-art results on other similar tasks with no or little fine-tuning. We also show that training data size and depth of the network have a serious impact on the overall performance of deep networks. Dropout is used to enhance the performance of deep networks where the labelled training data is not of sufficient size. All the three models trained on NIST DB4 fingerprint and IIIT-D latent fingerprint databases report good accuracy.

The isolated ROI is further used to extract the meaningful features of iris for its effective representation. That is why accuracy of the segmentation module directly affects the overall accuracy in an iris recognition system. In view of this, the present study provides a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art methods on iris segmentation that were reported after 2011. Iris segmentation approaches based on eye images captured in both visible and near infrared illumination have been reviewed in this paper. The state-of-the-art iris segmentation approaches have been categorised into four broad classes, namely: integro-differential operator (IDO)-based approaches, circular Hough transform (CHT)-based approaches, deep learning-based approaches, and miscellaneous approaches. The sole purpose of this survey is to deliver insights on ROI segmentation, which is a prominent step of iris recognition process, and to suggest prospective research directions to the readers.","PeriodicalId":262486,"journal":{"name":"Int.

This limits its applicability to be used in real-time applications. Thus, periocular recognition is used in complementary to iris recognition which refers to the region around eyes including eyelashes, eyelids and skin texture. By fusing both iris and periocular modalities, a more reliable and an accurate biometric system is attained that can be considered for high surveillance applications. The proposed techniques are based on continuous orthogonal moments: Zernike moments and polar harmonic transforms which are invariant to rotation and noise. These capture local intensity variations of the neighbourhood pixels that pertain to shape details of the periocular region and random texture pattern of the iris region. The techniques have been evaluated on iris databases: IITD v1 and UBIRIS v2 and a self-developed PEC, Chandigarh periocular database which has been created in a less constrained environment for the research community working on periocular recognition. Results demonstrate that the proposed technique gives encouraging results in comparison to the existing approaches.","PeriodicalId":262486,"journal":{"name":"Int. J.

To identify overlap, zero-crossing counts of silhouette frames as well as bottom halves of silhouette frames are considered. The efficiency of this algorithm is tested using normal walking sequence of subjects with 90° viewing angle from CASIA B as well as TUM-IITKGP human gait databases.
