Palm vein recognition with Local Binary Patterns and Local Derivative Patterns

Palm vein feature extraction from near infrared images is a challenging problem in hand pattern recognition. In this paper, a promising new approach based on local texture patterns is proposed. First, operators and histograms of multi-scale Local Binary Patterns (LBPs) are investigated in order to identify new efficient descriptors for palm vein patterns. Novel higher-order local pattern descriptors based on Local Derivative Pattern (LDP) histograms are then investigated for palm vein description. Both feature extraction methods are compared and evaluated in the framework of verification and identification tasks. Extensive experiments on CASIA Multi-Spectral Palmprint Image Database V1.0 (CASIA database) identify the LBP and LDP descriptors which are better adapted to palm vein texture. Tests on the CASIA datasets also show that the best adapted LDP descriptors consistently outperform their LBP counterparts in both palm vein verification and identification.
