Palmprint recognition has garnered significant research interest due to its excellent contactless property and user-security, but existing methods are limited in practical application due to their focus on intraspectral palmprint recognition. This study proposes a spectrum-invariant feature learning method that addresses the problem of different spectra in gallery and probe samples. The method forms blockwise direction-based ordinal measure vectors and employs a unified feature projection to map different spectra of palmprint images into a common feature space, enhancing discriminative power while maintaining similarity in intraclass features. Experimental results demonstrate the method's effectiveness in cross-spectral palmprint recognition.
Palmprint recognition provides a potential solution for noninvasive personal authentication due to its excellent contactless property and user-security, and it has attracted tremendous research interest in recent years. However, most existing methods focus on intraspectral palmprint recognition, which requires gallery and probe images to be captured under similar illumination, and thus significantly limit its practical applications in open environments with variant illuminations. In this study, we present a spectrum-invariant feature learning method for cross-spectral palmprint recognition to address the problem that gallery and probe samples are captured under different spectra. First, the blockwise direction-based ordinal measure vectors are formed to represent the intrinsic information of palmprint images. Then, a unified feature projection is jointly learned to map two different spectra of palmprint images into a common feature space, in which the different spectral features have enhanced discriminative power by enlarging their variances while the intraclass features learned from different spectral images are similar. The proposed method can be easily extended to seek the unified spectrum-invariant representation of multiple spectral palmprint images, making it feasible to perform palmprint recognition crossing one spectrum to multiple spectra. Experimental results on two multispectral palmprint image databases demonstrate the promising effectiveness of the proposed method on cross-spectral palmprint recognition.
