Identity verification using palm print microscopic images based on median robust extended local binary pattern features and k‐nearest neighbor classifier 公开 Deposited

Automatic identity verification is one of the most critical and research-demanding areas. One of the most effective and reliable identity verification methods is using unique human biological characteristics and biometrics. Among all types of biometrics, palm print is recognized as one of the most accurate and reliable identity verification methods. However, this biometrics domain also has several critical challenges: image rotation, image displacement, change in image scaling, presence of noise in the image due to devices, region of interest (ROI) detection, or user error. For this purpose, a new method of identity verification based on median robust extended local binary pattern (MRELBP) is introduced in this study. In this system, after normalizing the images and extracting the ROI from the microscopic input image, the images enter the feature extraction step with the MRELBP algorithm. Next, these features are reduced by the dimensionality reduction step, and finally, feature vectors are classified using the k-nearest neighbor classifier. The microscopic images used in this study were selected from IITD and CASIA data sets, and the identity verification rate for these two data sets without challenge was 97.2% and 96.6%, respectively. In addition, computed detection rates have been broadly stable against changes such as salt-and-pepper noise up to 0.16, rotation up to 5, displacement up to 6 pixels, and scale change up to 94%.
