1 Introduction

The field of hand vascular pattern investigation has inviteda lot of concentration for forensic and civilian usage assuggested by Jain and Feng [1] Multispectral palm printtechnology uses subcutaneous vascular network on the handto identify personals in biometric application The patternof multispectral palm print is unique to each personal evenbetween identical twins Therefore the pattern of multispec-tral palm print is a highly distinctive feature that may be usedfor authenticating the personal as suggested by MacGregorand Welford [2] Multispectral palm print biometric tech-nology is relatively new and it is in the progression of beingendlessly refined and developed

Since the introduction of multispectral palm print tech-nology a number of efforts have been put to extend toother multispectral pattern technologies such as multispec-tral finger print retinal pattern Although multispectral palmprint technology is an ongoing immobile research area ofbiometric system a large number of units have been installed

in many applications such as security time and attendanceaccess control and hospitals compared to other biometrictraits Vascular pattern technologies afford advantages suchas better usability and higher recognition accuracy

The rest of this paper is structured as follows Section 2presents the details on the survey of the proposed workSection 3 presents the details on preprocessing steps formultispectral palm print biometric system and the blockdiagram of the proposed multispectral palm print systemfor human identification Section 4 describes the proposedmultispectral palm print feature extraction methods andclassification approach for automated multispectral palmprint identification Experimental results from the proposedand prior approaches are discussed in Section 5 The keysolutions are summarized in Section 6

geometry furthermoremultispectral component show signif-icant textural features similar to the features of fingerprints asdiscussed by Lin et al [3] In [4ndash9] the researchers suggestedmany multispectral palm print methodologies Kumar andPrathyusha [10] suggested a new approach using triangula-tion of multispectral palm print images and extraction ofknuckle shape In [9ndash11] the researcher suggested variousmultimodal biometric authentications using multispectralpalmprintmethodology and combined palmprintwith othertraits In another approach Wang et al [12] proposed ahand dorsal vascular approach using partition local binarypattern and validated output using similarity measures Khanet al [13] proposed a vascular pattern recognition principalcomponent analysis which is a lower dimensional imagevascular pattern features

Multispectral palm print recognition methods can beclassified into two typesrsquo holistic approaches and geometricapproaches Holistic approaches use subspace learning Var-ious subspaces have been investigated for the multispectralpalm print recognition In [14] the researcher suggestedSIFT and LPP and (PCA) principal component analysis aresuggested by Wang et al [15] In this subspace learningapproaches subspace coefficients are generated which isused for recognition during matching The multispectralpalm print images represent vascular structure and thereforethe extraction of geometric feature has invited a lot ofresearch focus Here the ROI extraction is attained usingspatial domain filtering and a number of filters have beeninvestigated In [16] the researcher suggested SUSAN edgedetector cut-off Gaussian filter is suggested by Toh et al [17]Gabor filter is suggested by Zhang et al [18] and orthogonalGaussian filter is suggested by Hao et al [19] and Safa et al[20] proposed behavioral pattern based identification

The summary of previous work in the literature suggestedthat not so many researchers have paid attention to use mul-tiple algorithms to increase the recognition accuracy Andthe literature proposes the deficient of systematic compari-son of different feature representation for the multispectralpalm print methodologies in [16ndash18] the researcher usedconstrained images in their research and Hao et al [19] usecontact-free images

This paper proposes multiple algorithms based multi-spectral palm print recognitionThe proposed approach usestwo newmethodologies to extract two different multispectralfeatures and obtained improved recognition accuracy Theproposed subspace learning approach using KPCA (kernelprincipal component analysis) and MFRT (modified finiteradon transform) approach offers a computationally efficientandutilizesminimum templates size compared to the existingapproachesThe proposedmethod obtained improved recog-nition performance as compared to the previous multispec-tral palm print approaches presented in the literature

3 Proposed Work

A review of previous work on multispectral palm printrecognition methodologies presented in the earlier sectionsketches the importance of comparative performance on the

most promising multispectral palm print methodologies Inaddition the earlier efforts have been more concentrated onconstraint images rather than contact less images The keycontributions are as follows

(a) Here we used a comparative analysis of the pro-posedmethodologies in both constrained and contactless multispectral palm print imaging environmentwhich assures establishing the robustness of proposedmethod

(b) The proposed work thoroughly assesses the recog-nition performance for multispectral palm printrecognition The recognition performances are verygood even under the minimum number of trainingsamples (only one sample for each class) This paperalso explored the recognition performance of variousapproaches using two different databases to access theperformance using different approaches

The multispectral palm print images in peg-free imagingsystempresented havemany translational and rotational vari-ations Therefore accurate preprocessing steps are requiredto obtain an aligned and stable ROI The multispectralpalm print images are binarized to separate the palm regionfrom the background region Then distance from the centrelocation of the binarized palm image to the border of palmimage is calculated Due to the contactless environmentpotential scale changes can be quite large and with theintention of accounting for this variation it is sensible toadaptively choose the size and location of the ROIThis can bedone using certain image-specific procedures from the palmTo illustrate the multispectral palm print texture patternmore clearly image enhancement is required From Figure 1it is clear that the image normalization and enhancementenhanced the fine points and contrast of the ROI images

4 Methodology

The block diagram of the proposed methodology is shownin Figure 2 The acquired multispectral palm print imagesare first subjected to preprocessing steps which extractsthe region of interest (ROI) The enhanced and normalisedmultispectral palm print images are employed with mul-tiple feature extraction algorithms using kernel principalcomponent analysis (KPCA) and modified radon trans-form (MFRT) The features are fused using feature fusionmethodology and features are classified using LMKNCNclassification (Figure 5)Matching scores obtained are similarto conventional biometric system

The preprocessed multispectral palm print image repre-sents curved multispectral patterns and small line segmentswhich are rather curved can approximate these patternsTherefore in this research a new approach is recommendedto extract such features Here multiple feature extractionusing kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) andmodified finite radon transform (MFRT) is proposed Theproposed approach can effectively accommodate for morefrequent translational rotational variations and image dis-tortions

sum

119894=11199091 (1)

where 1199091 is a dimensional vector

Mean centred image (119898119895) is represented in

119898119895= 1199091 minus119898

10158401015840 (2)

Then covariance matrix is accomplished by

119862 = 1198721015840101584011987210158401015840119879 (3)

where 11987210158401015840 represents the composed matrix of the columnvectors119898

Consider

1015840(11987210158401015840119899) (4)

Itmeans that the first11987210158401015840minus1 eigenvectors (120582) and eigenvalues(1198991) could be attained by computing1198721015840101584011987210158401015840119879When 119872

42 Modified Finite Radon Transform Feature ExtractionMethod Theradon transform is the integral transformwhichcontains the integral of a function over straight lines Other-wise it is the projection of an image along particular direc-tion [20ndash22] Let us assume that (1199091 1199101) are the Cartesiancoordinates of a point in a 2D image and 1198681(1199091 1199101) is theintensity The 2-dimensional radon transform is representedas 119877119868(120588 120579)

where 120588 is the perpendicular distance of a line from the originand 120579 is the angle produced by the distance vector In theprojected scheme we have assumed 120579 to be varying from0∘ to180∘ To compute the eigenvalues of the attained radon imagegiven a matrix 119862 a scalar 120582

1is called an eigenvalue of 119862 if

there exists a nonzero vector 1199091 such that

1198621199091 = 1205821199091 (8)

Thus for a square matrix 119862 of size 119898 times 119898 the eigenvalueequation can be given as

1198621199091 minus1205821198681199091 = 0 (9)

where 119868 is the identitymatrix of size119898times119898 To get a nontrivialsolution for 1199091 determinant value is given as

det (119862 minus 120582119868) = 0 (10)

In the proposed methodology the angle of projection 120579is varying from 0∘ to 180∘ and radon transform of an image

is represented as a matrix As the ROI of multispectral palmprint image is of same size for all the individuals the radontransform attained for all the images would be of similarsize However the attained radon transform may not be asquare matrix In order to make a square matrix we induceequal number of extra rowscolumns with all zeroes to radonmatrix of each subject Finally eigenvalues are calculated forradon matrix Figure 4 illustrates the modified finite radontransform output of the cropped canny image

In the proposed multispectral palm print system thehand vascular features are the directional information of thehand vascular images The features are obtained by using theradon projection of a hand vascular image in different angleImage intensity is calculated for each projection vector Theprojection matrix is given as

geometry furthermoremultispectral component show signif-icant textural features similar to the features of fingerprints asdiscussed by Lin et al [3] In [4ndash9] the researchers suggestedmany multispectral palm print methodologies Kumar andPrathyusha [10] suggested a new approach using triangula-tion of multispectral palm print images and extraction ofknuckle shape In [9ndash11] the researcher suggested variousmultimodal biometric authentications using multispectralpalmprintmethodology and combined palmprintwith othertraits In another approach Wang et al [12] proposed ahand dorsal vascular approach using partition local binarypattern and validated output using similarity measures Khanet al [13] proposed a vascular pattern recognition principalcomponent analysis which is a lower dimensional imagevascular pattern features

Multispectral palm print recognition methods can beclassified into two typesrsquo holistic approaches and geometricapproaches Holistic approaches use subspace learning Var-ious subspaces have been investigated for the multispectralpalm print recognition In [14] the researcher suggestedSIFT and LPP and (PCA) principal component analysis aresuggested by Wang et al [15] In this subspace learningapproaches subspace coefficients are generated which isused for recognition during matching The multispectralpalm print images represent vascular structure and thereforethe extraction of geometric feature has invited a lot ofresearch focus Here the ROI extraction is attained usingspatial domain filtering and a number of filters have beeninvestigated In [16] the researcher suggested SUSAN edgedetector cut-off Gaussian filter is suggested by Toh et al [17]Gabor filter is suggested by Zhang et al [18] and orthogonalGaussian filter is suggested by Hao et al [19] and Safa et al[20] proposed behavioral pattern based identification

The summary of previous work in the literature suggestedthat not so many researchers have paid attention to use mul-tiple algorithms to increase the recognition accuracy Andthe literature proposes the deficient of systematic compari-son of different feature representation for the multispectralpalm print methodologies in [16ndash18] the researcher usedconstrained images in their research and Hao et al [19] usecontact-free images

This paper proposes multiple algorithms based multi-spectral palm print recognitionThe proposed approach usestwo newmethodologies to extract two different multispectralfeatures and obtained improved recognition accuracy Theproposed subspace learning approach using KPCA (kernelprincipal component analysis) and MFRT (modified finiteradon transform) approach offers a computationally efficientandutilizesminimum templates size compared to the existingapproachesThe proposedmethod obtained improved recog-nition performance as compared to the previous multispec-tral palm print approaches presented in the literature

3 Proposed Work

A review of previous work on multispectral palm printrecognition methodologies presented in the earlier sectionsketches the importance of comparative performance on the

most promising multispectral palm print methodologies Inaddition the earlier efforts have been more concentrated onconstraint images rather than contact less images The keycontributions are as follows

(a) Here we used a comparative analysis of the pro-posedmethodologies in both constrained and contactless multispectral palm print imaging environmentwhich assures establishing the robustness of proposedmethod

(b) The proposed work thoroughly assesses the recog-nition performance for multispectral palm printrecognition The recognition performances are verygood even under the minimum number of trainingsamples (only one sample for each class) This paperalso explored the recognition performance of variousapproaches using two different databases to access theperformance using different approaches

The multispectral palm print images in peg-free imagingsystempresented havemany translational and rotational vari-ations Therefore accurate preprocessing steps are requiredto obtain an aligned and stable ROI The multispectralpalm print images are binarized to separate the palm regionfrom the background region Then distance from the centrelocation of the binarized palm image to the border of palmimage is calculated Due to the contactless environmentpotential scale changes can be quite large and with theintention of accounting for this variation it is sensible toadaptively choose the size and location of the ROIThis can bedone using certain image-specific procedures from the palmTo illustrate the multispectral palm print texture patternmore clearly image enhancement is required From Figure 1it is clear that the image normalization and enhancementenhanced the fine points and contrast of the ROI images

4 Methodology

The block diagram of the proposed methodology is shownin Figure 2 The acquired multispectral palm print imagesare first subjected to preprocessing steps which extractsthe region of interest (ROI) The enhanced and normalisedmultispectral palm print images are employed with mul-tiple feature extraction algorithms using kernel principalcomponent analysis (KPCA) and modified radon trans-form (MFRT) The features are fused using feature fusionmethodology and features are classified using LMKNCNclassification (Figure 5)Matching scores obtained are similarto conventional biometric system

The preprocessed multispectral palm print image repre-sents curved multispectral patterns and small line segmentswhich are rather curved can approximate these patternsTherefore in this research a new approach is recommendedto extract such features Here multiple feature extractionusing kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) andmodified finite radon transform (MFRT) is proposed Theproposed approach can effectively accommodate for morefrequent translational rotational variations and image dis-tortions

42 Modified Finite Radon Transform Feature ExtractionMethod Theradon transform is the integral transformwhichcontains the integral of a function over straight lines Other-wise it is the projection of an image along particular direc-tion [20ndash22] Let us assume that (1199091 1199101) are the Cartesiancoordinates of a point in a 2D image and 1198681(1199091 1199101) is theintensity The 2-dimensional radon transform is representedas 119877119868(120588 120579)

where 120588 is the perpendicular distance of a line from the originand 120579 is the angle produced by the distance vector In theprojected scheme we have assumed 120579 to be varying from0∘ to180∘ To compute the eigenvalues of the attained radon imagegiven a matrix 119862 a scalar 120582

1is called an eigenvalue of 119862 if

there exists a nonzero vector 1199091 such that

1198621199091 = 1205821199091 (8)

Thus for a square matrix 119862 of size 119898 times 119898 the eigenvalueequation can be given as

1198621199091 minus1205821198681199091 = 0 (9)

where 119868 is the identitymatrix of size119898times119898 To get a nontrivialsolution for 1199091 determinant value is given as

det (119862 minus 120582119868) = 0 (10)

In the proposed methodology the angle of projection 120579is varying from 0∘ to 180∘ and radon transform of an image

is represented as a matrix As the ROI of multispectral palmprint image is of same size for all the individuals the radontransform attained for all the images would be of similarsize However the attained radon transform may not be asquare matrix In order to make a square matrix we induceequal number of extra rowscolumns with all zeroes to radonmatrix of each subject Finally eigenvalues are calculated forradon matrix Figure 4 illustrates the modified finite radontransform output of the cropped canny image

In the proposed multispectral palm print system thehand vascular features are the directional information of thehand vascular images The features are obtained by using theradon projection of a hand vascular image in different angleImage intensity is calculated for each projection vector Theprojection matrix is given as

6 Conclusion

In this paper we have investigated a novel approach forhuman identification using multispectral palm print imagesto represent a low resolution multispectral palm print imageand to match different multispectral palm print imagewe proposed the kernel principal component analysis andmodified radon transform methods We proposed methodcan effectively accommodate the rotational variation trans-lational variation and potential image deformation We pre-sented an automatic multispectral palm print identificationwhich can more reliably extract the multispectral palm printfeatures and achieve much higher accuracy than previouslyproposedmultispectral palm print identificationmethodolo-gies Our proposed multialgorithm based multispectral palmprint identification approachworksmore effectively and leadsto a more accurate performance even with the minimumnumber of enrolled images (one sample for trainee) Wepresented rigorous experimental results and compared tothe existing methods using two different databases CASIAand Poly U palm print Here we obtained identification rateof 9866 9988 9999 and 100 from the left rightmultispectral palm print images of the CASIA and Poly Udatabases respectively and correspondingly obtained EER of054 023 001 and 0006 Performance improvement can befurther increased by fusing multispectral palm print imagewith other suitable traits Further a more efficient featureextraction algorithm and classification techniques should bedeveloped to deal with shadow and undesired noise andto decrease the matching score for illegal users and raisethe matching score for legal users Moreover it should alsobe competent to reduce the effects from the orientationnonrigid deformations and translations of the multispectralpalm print image

42 Modified Finite Radon Transform Feature ExtractionMethod Theradon transform is the integral transformwhichcontains the integral of a function over straight lines Other-wise it is the projection of an image along particular direc-tion [20ndash22] Let us assume that (1199091 1199101) are the Cartesiancoordinates of a point in a 2D image and 1198681(1199091 1199101) is theintensity The 2-dimensional radon transform is representedas 119877119868(120588 120579)

where 120588 is the perpendicular distance of a line from the originand 120579 is the angle produced by the distance vector In theprojected scheme we have assumed 120579 to be varying from0∘ to180∘ To compute the eigenvalues of the attained radon imagegiven a matrix 119862 a scalar 120582

1is called an eigenvalue of 119862 if

there exists a nonzero vector 1199091 such that

1198621199091 = 1205821199091 (8)

Thus for a square matrix 119862 of size 119898 times 119898 the eigenvalueequation can be given as

1198621199091 minus1205821198681199091 = 0 (9)

where 119868 is the identitymatrix of size119898times119898 To get a nontrivialsolution for 1199091 determinant value is given as

det (119862 minus 120582119868) = 0 (10)

In the proposed methodology the angle of projection 120579is varying from 0∘ to 180∘ and radon transform of an image

is represented as a matrix As the ROI of multispectral palmprint image is of same size for all the individuals the radontransform attained for all the images would be of similarsize However the attained radon transform may not be asquare matrix In order to make a square matrix we induceequal number of extra rowscolumns with all zeroes to radonmatrix of each subject Finally eigenvalues are calculated forradon matrix Figure 4 illustrates the modified finite radontransform output of the cropped canny image

In the proposed multispectral palm print system thehand vascular features are the directional information of thehand vascular images The features are obtained by using theradon projection of a hand vascular image in different angleImage intensity is calculated for each projection vector Theprojection matrix is given as

42 Modified Finite Radon Transform Feature ExtractionMethod Theradon transform is the integral transformwhichcontains the integral of a function over straight lines Other-wise it is the projection of an image along particular direc-tion [20ndash22] Let us assume that (1199091 1199101) are the Cartesiancoordinates of a point in a 2D image and 1198681(1199091 1199101) is theintensity The 2-dimensional radon transform is representedas 119877119868(120588 120579)

where 120588 is the perpendicular distance of a line from the originand 120579 is the angle produced by the distance vector In theprojected scheme we have assumed 120579 to be varying from0∘ to180∘ To compute the eigenvalues of the attained radon imagegiven a matrix 119862 a scalar 120582

1is called an eigenvalue of 119862 if

there exists a nonzero vector 1199091 such that

1198621199091 = 1205821199091 (8)

Thus for a square matrix 119862 of size 119898 times 119898 the eigenvalueequation can be given as

1198621199091 minus1205821198681199091 = 0 (9)

where 119868 is the identitymatrix of size119898times119898 To get a nontrivialsolution for 1199091 determinant value is given as

det (119862 minus 120582119868) = 0 (10)

In the proposed methodology the angle of projection 120579is varying from 0∘ to 180∘ and radon transform of an image

is represented as a matrix As the ROI of multispectral palmprint image is of same size for all the individuals the radontransform attained for all the images would be of similarsize However the attained radon transform may not be asquare matrix In order to make a square matrix we induceequal number of extra rowscolumns with all zeroes to radonmatrix of each subject Finally eigenvalues are calculated forradon matrix Figure 4 illustrates the modified finite radontransform output of the cropped canny image

In the proposed multispectral palm print system thehand vascular features are the directional information of thehand vascular images The features are obtained by using theradon projection of a hand vascular image in different angleImage intensity is calculated for each projection vector Theprojection matrix is given as

Recognition performances from the Poly Umultispectralpalm print database are illustrated in Tables 4ndash6 The per-formance characteristics are obtained from Figure 7 Fromthe above observation the proposed methodology of multi-algorithm multispectral palm print consistently outperforms

other promising approaches in all three experiments even inthe case of a smaller number of train images for each classUnlike other methodologies the proposed method accom-modates higher deformation and image variation and pro-duces best matching Tables 7 and 8 suggest the performanceimprovement for the various methodologies with increasingnumber of samples per class From the observation it issuggested that the multialgorithm multispectral approachachieves 023 EER for four samples per class using CASIAdatabase In addition the same approach achieves 0006EER for six samples per class using Poly Umultispectral palmprint database

in Tables 1ndash3 It can be observed from Figure 6 that theproposed multialgorithm (KPCA + MFRT) multispectralpalm print approach outperforms other promising methodsin all three experiments especially in the case of a minimumnumber of samples per class Unlike the other matchingapproaches the proposed method accommodates higherdeformation and image variations

Recognition performances from the Poly Umultispectralpalm print database are illustrated in Tables 4ndash6 The per-formance characteristics are obtained from Figure 7 Fromthe above observation the proposed methodology of multi-algorithm multispectral palm print consistently outperforms

other promising approaches in all three experiments even inthe case of a smaller number of train images for each classUnlike other methodologies the proposed method accom-modates higher deformation and image variation and pro-duces best matching Tables 7 and 8 suggest the performanceimprovement for the various methodologies with increasingnumber of samples per class From the observation it issuggested that the multialgorithm multispectral approachachieves 023 EER for four samples per class using CASIAdatabase In addition the same approach achieves 0006EER for six samples per class using Poly Umultispectral palmprint database

6 Conclusion

In this paper we have investigated a novel approach forhuman identification using multispectral palm print imagesto represent a low resolution multispectral palm print imageand to match different multispectral palm print imagewe proposed the kernel principal component analysis andmodified radon transform methods We proposed methodcan effectively accommodate the rotational variation trans-lational variation and potential image deformation We pre-sented an automatic multispectral palm print identificationwhich can more reliably extract the multispectral palm printfeatures and achieve much higher accuracy than previouslyproposedmultispectral palm print identificationmethodolo-gies Our proposed multialgorithm based multispectral palmprint identification approachworksmore effectively and leadsto a more accurate performance even with the minimumnumber of enrolled images (one sample for trainee) Wepresented rigorous experimental results and compared tothe existing methods using two different databases CASIAand Poly U palm print Here we obtained identification rateof 9866 9988 9999 and 100 from the left rightmultispectral palm print images of the CASIA and Poly Udatabases respectively and correspondingly obtained EER of054 023 001 and 0006 Performance improvement can befurther increased by fusing multispectral palm print imagewith other suitable traits Further a more efficient featureextraction algorithm and classification techniques should bedeveloped to deal with shadow and undesired noise andto decrease the matching score for illegal users and raisethe matching score for legal users Moreover it should alsobe competent to reduce the effects from the orientationnonrigid deformations and translations of the multispectralpalm print image

in Tables 1ndash3 It can be observed from Figure 6 that theproposed multialgorithm (KPCA + MFRT) multispectralpalm print approach outperforms other promising methodsin all three experiments especially in the case of a minimumnumber of samples per class Unlike the other matchingapproaches the proposed method accommodates higherdeformation and image variations

Recognition performances from the Poly Umultispectralpalm print database are illustrated in Tables 4ndash6 The per-formance characteristics are obtained from Figure 7 Fromthe above observation the proposed methodology of multi-algorithm multispectral palm print consistently outperforms

other promising approaches in all three experiments even inthe case of a smaller number of train images for each classUnlike other methodologies the proposed method accom-modates higher deformation and image variation and pro-duces best matching Tables 7 and 8 suggest the performanceimprovement for the various methodologies with increasingnumber of samples per class From the observation it issuggested that the multialgorithm multispectral approachachieves 023 EER for four samples per class using CASIAdatabase In addition the same approach achieves 0006EER for six samples per class using Poly Umultispectral palmprint database

6 Conclusion

In this paper we have investigated a novel approach forhuman identification using multispectral palm print imagesto represent a low resolution multispectral palm print imageand to match different multispectral palm print imagewe proposed the kernel principal component analysis andmodified radon transform methods We proposed methodcan effectively accommodate the rotational variation trans-lational variation and potential image deformation We pre-sented an automatic multispectral palm print identificationwhich can more reliably extract the multispectral palm printfeatures and achieve much higher accuracy than previouslyproposedmultispectral palm print identificationmethodolo-gies Our proposed multialgorithm based multispectral palmprint identification approachworksmore effectively and leadsto a more accurate performance even with the minimumnumber of enrolled images (one sample for trainee) Wepresented rigorous experimental results and compared tothe existing methods using two different databases CASIAand Poly U palm print Here we obtained identification rateof 9866 9988 9999 and 100 from the left rightmultispectral palm print images of the CASIA and Poly Udatabases respectively and correspondingly obtained EER of054 023 001 and 0006 Performance improvement can befurther increased by fusing multispectral palm print imagewith other suitable traits Further a more efficient featureextraction algorithm and classification techniques should bedeveloped to deal with shadow and undesired noise andto decrease the matching score for illegal users and raisethe matching score for legal users Moreover it should alsobe competent to reduce the effects from the orientationnonrigid deformations and translations of the multispectralpalm print image

Table 9 summarizes the multispectral palm printapproaches reviewed in the literature and suggested thesuperior recognition performance in the proposed approachThe performance improvement increases with increasein number of training samples on both CASIA and PolyU database Comparatively improved performance wasobtained even when the minimum number of trainingsamples is considered (only one sample for each class)

The experimental results presented here consistentlysuggest that the proposedmultialgorithmmultispectral palmprint recognition approach using KPCA and MFRT achievessignificantly improved performance over the previously pro-posed approaches on both peg and non-peg multispectralpalm print databases In order to comparatively determinethe performance form the two databases corresponding ROCare shown in Figure 8 It can be observed from the figure that

6 Conclusion

In this paper we have investigated a novel approach forhuman identification using multispectral palm print imagesto represent a low resolution multispectral palm print imageand to match different multispectral palm print imagewe proposed the kernel principal component analysis andmodified radon transform methods We proposed methodcan effectively accommodate the rotational variation trans-lational variation and potential image deformation We pre-sented an automatic multispectral palm print identificationwhich can more reliably extract the multispectral palm printfeatures and achieve much higher accuracy than previouslyproposedmultispectral palm print identificationmethodolo-gies Our proposed multialgorithm based multispectral palmprint identification approachworksmore effectively and leadsto a more accurate performance even with the minimumnumber of enrolled images (one sample for trainee) Wepresented rigorous experimental results and compared tothe existing methods using two different databases CASIAand Poly U palm print Here we obtained identification rateof 9866 9988 9999 and 100 from the left rightmultispectral palm print images of the CASIA and Poly Udatabases respectively and correspondingly obtained EER of054 023 001 and 0006 Performance improvement can befurther increased by fusing multispectral palm print imagewith other suitable traits Further a more efficient featureextraction algorithm and classification techniques should bedeveloped to deal with shadow and undesired noise andto decrease the matching score for illegal users and raisethe matching score for legal users Moreover it should alsobe competent to reduce the effects from the orientationnonrigid deformations and translations of the multispectralpalm print image
