Multi-spectral palmprint Recognition based onOriented Multiscale log-Gabor Filters AbstractAmong several palmprint recognition methods proposed recently, coding-based approaches using multi-spectral palmprint images are attractive owing to their high recognition rates. Aiming to further improve the performance of these approaches, this paper presents a novel multi-spectral palmprint recognition approach based on oriented multiscale log-Gabor filters. The proposed method aims to enhance the recognition performances by proposing novel solutions at three stages of the recognition process. Inspired by the bitwise competitive coding, the feature extraction employs a multi-resolution log-Gabor filtering where the final feature map is composed by the winning codes of the lowest filters' bank response. The matching process employs a bitwise Hamming distance and Kullback-Leibler divergence as novel metrics to enable an efficient capture of the intra-and inter-similarities between palmprint feature maps. Finally, the decision stage is carried pout using a fusion of the scores generated from of different spectral bands to reduce overlapping. In addition, a fusion of the feature maps through two proposed novel feature fusion techniques to allow us to eliminate the inherent redundancy of the features of neighboring spectral bands is also * Corresponding author Email addresses: md.alioua@univ-jijel.dz, maya@ai.univ-paris8.fr (Meriem Dorsaf Bounneche), larbi.boubchir@ai.univ-paris8.fr (Larbi Boubchir), ahmed.bouridane@northumbria.ac.uk (Ahmed Bouridane), nek_cem@univ-jijel.dz (Bachir Nekhoul), aa@ai.univ-paris8.fr (Arab Ali-Chérif) Preprint submitted to Journal of L A T E X TemplatesMay 2, 2016proposed.
