Palm Vein Recognition Algorithm Using Curvelet and Wavelet

Abstract:

In this paper we report on a curvelet and wavelet based palm vein recognition algorithm. Using our palm vein image database, we employed minimum distance classifier to test the performance of the system. Experimental results show that the algorithm based on cuvelet transform can reach equal error rate of 1.7%, and the algorithm based on wavelet transform can only reach equal error rate of 2.3%, indicating that the curvelet based palm vein recognition system improves representation.
