Multispectral Biometrics

Abstract

Dorsal hand recognition has drawn much attention due to its commonality, uniqueness, and stability in biometrics . In particular, the hand vein, which is considered as the main identification information in dorsal hand, is a living feature and hard to be fabricated, so it reflects the huge advantage in improving the anti-spoof ability. However, the imaging of subcutaneous feature needs more requirements for the light source than other biometric features such as face . Unsuitable light source would result in poor-quality dorsal hand image with amount of important information loss or be mixed with useless information. To address the problem of spectra selection is a very effective way to improve final recognition performance of dorsal hand. Multispectral technique is just the one that helps us to search for the optimal band for light source around visible light part and near-infrared (NIR) light part in image acquisition process. On the other hand, the feature pattern is one of the key factors influencing the recognition performance. Considering that multispectral analysis should be implemented on the same feature pattern overall the whole spectra, applying a proper one is necessary for making sure that it can be suitable for not only dorsal hand vein extraction, but also multispectral images.
