Abstract :
One of the most fitting biometric for identifying individuals is finger veins. In this paper, we study the human recognition via finger vein images that recognize persons at a high level of accuracy. First we use entropy based thresholding for segmentation and extraction veins from finger vein images. The method extract veins as well, but the images are very noisy. That means in addition to the veins that appeared as dark lines, they have some Intersecting lines. Then we applied radon transformation to segmented images. The radon transform is not sensitive to the noise in the images due to its integral nature, so in comparison with other methods is more resistant to noise. This transform does not require the extraction of vein lines accurately, that can help to increase accuracy and speed. Then for extracting features from finger vein images, common spatial patterns are applied to the blocks of Radon Transform. In identification step two methods are used: Nearest Neighbor (1-NN) and Artificial Neural Network (MLP). Experiments conducted on sets of finger vein image database of Peking University show 99.6753 percent success rate in identifying individuals.
