Secure Palmprint Recognition based on Multispectral Sequential Capture

The security of personal identities is a serious challenge in today's digital world, with so many daily transactions requiring secure solutions. The use of biometric characteristics of the person is presented as the reliable solution to solve this problem. Indeed, this solution is effective, but it hides a weak point which lies in the ability to reproduce certain biometric characteristics for fraud. To overcome this weak point, we propose a secure approach for palmprints that relies on the concept of merging multiple features. Indeed, these features will be extracted from multi-spectral images with different spectra, which allow the extraction of information under the skin of the palm for two different spectrums sequentially in two different times (T1, T2) but instantly. The instant fusion of these characteristics will be impossible to replicate. The images used are grayscale. To satisfy a construction of a reliable and secure system, for this kind of patterns (palmprints), we will use the Compound Local Binary Pattern method, since this method adds an additional bit for each P bits coded by LBP corresponding to a neighbor of the local neighborhood, in order to build a robust system. This feature descriptor, it uses both the sign and tilt information of the differences between the central and neighboring gray values. The reliability of the proposed approach has been demonstrated on the Casia Multi-Spectral database. The final experimental results show reliable recognition rates and these recognition rates vary between 99% and 100% for the left and right palms.
