Fusion of multispectral palmprint images for automatic person identification

has gained much attention in this subject recently. Many types of personal identification systems have been developed, and palmprint identification is one of the emerging technologies. This paper presents a novel biometric technique to automatic personal identification system using multispectral palmprint technology. In this method, each of spectrum images are aligned and then used to extract palmprint features using 1D log-Gabor filter. These features are then examined for their individual and combined performances. Finally, the hamming distance is used for matching of palmprint features. The experimental results showed that the proposed method achieve an excellent identification rate and provide more security.
