Recent Advances in Palm Vein Recognition using Minutiae-Based and Texture-based Feature Extraction Methods

Abstract

Biometric system is highly used for security purpose in many recent applications. Texture based, Line based, Appearance based, Code based methods are used for feature extraction. Mainly, two methods are used for palm vein feature extraction which are minutiae-based and texture descriptor-based. Many researchers are attracted by Texture based approaches during the last years compared to minutiae based approach which segment veins first and then extract the information of singular point. This facilitated use of texture features in palm vein detection. The study presented in this paper is an extensive survey of the Minutiae-based and Texture-based feature extraction for palm vein recognition.
