Abstract

There are many features on a palm and different features reflect the different characteristic of a palmprint. Fusion of multiple palmprint features may enhance the performance of palmprint authentication system. In this paper, we investigate the fusion of the textural feature (PalmCode) and the palm-lines. Several fusion strategies have been compared. The experimental results show that the original PalmCode scheme is optimal for the very high security systems, while the fusion of the PalmCode and palm-lines using the Weighted Sum Strategy is the best choice for other systems.
