Abstract :Recently, the need for automatic identification has caused researchers to focus on biometric identification methods. Palmprint-based biometric identification has several advantages such as user friendliness, low-cost capturing devices, and robustness. In this paper, a method that integrates the discrete cosine transform insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(DCT); and an autoregressive insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(AR); signal modeling is proposed for biometric identification. The method provides scale invariance and produces a fixed-length feature vector. In particular, the Burg algorithm is used for the determination of the AR parameters used as a feature vector. Experimental results demonstrate that a small number of the AR parameters that are modeling the DCT coefficients of a palmprint are sufficient to constitute a practically applicable identification system achieving a correct recognition rate of 99.79%. The accuracy of the proposed approach is not overly dependent on the number of training samples, another advantage of the method.
