摘要
Biometric authentication is an effective method for automatically recognizing a person's identity. In our previous paper, we have considered palm print for human authentication. Recently, it has been found that the Finger Knuckle Print (FKP), which refers to the inherent skin patterns of the outer surface around the phalangeal joint of one's finger, has high capability to discriminate different individuals, making it an emerging biometric identifier. In this paper, the local convex direction map of the FKP image is extracted. Then, the local features of the enhanced FKP are extracted using the Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIR), the Speeded Up Robust Features (SURF) and frequency feature. SIFT are formed by means of local patterns around key-points from scale space decomposed image. Feature vectors through SURF are formed by means of local patterns around key-points which are detected using scaled up filter. The frequency range of pixel levels in each image is employed by using Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD). For the authentication of FKP image, we used shortest distance between the query image and the database, to evaluate their similarity. Here, we use PolyU FKP database images to examine the performance of the proposed system. The proposed biometric system is implemented in MATLAB and compared with the previous palm print human authentication system. For the same person, the matching score of the two methods are fused for the multimodal biometric recognition. The experimental results demonstrated the efficiency and effectiveness of this new biometric characteristic.
