Abstract

Palmprint processes a number of unique features for reliable personal recognition. However, different types of palmprint images contain different dominant features. Instead, only some features of the palmprint are visible in a palmprint image, whereas the other features may not be notable. For example, the low-resolution palmprint image has visible principal lines and wrinkles. By contrast, the high-resolution palmprint image contains clear ridge patterns and minutiae points. In addition, the three dimensional (3-D) palmprint image possesses curvatures of the palmprint surface. So far, there is no work to summarize the feature extraction of different types of palmprint images. In this paper, we have an aim to completely study the feature extraction and recognition of palmprint. We propose to use a unified framework to classify palmprint images into four categories: (1) the contact-based; (2) contactless; (3) high-resolution; and (4) 3-D palmprint images. Then, we analyze the motivations and theories of the representative extraction and matching methods for different types of palmprint images. Finally, we compare and test the state-of-the-art methods via the widely used palmprint databases, and point out some potential directions for future research.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
