Abstract
Over the last ten years, considerable progress has been made on the new hand-based biometric recognition, such as palmprint and hand vein. During this period, it has been proved that Finger-Knuckle-Print (FKP) can be used as a biometric identifier. In this paper, we present an effective FKP identification method based on Local Binary Pattern (LBP), whose idea is to divide the region of interest (ROI) of FKP into a set of sub-image blocks, which can be applied to extract the local features of the FKP. After that, LBP histograms of image blocks in a FKP ROI image are connected together to build the feature vector of the FKP ROI image. In the match stage, histogram intersection distance is applied as the similarity measurement between sample and template. Experimental results conducted on a database of 165 persons (4 fingers per person) show that the proposed method is effective.
