Palmprint Identification Using LBP and Different Representations

In this paper, a new Local Binary Pattern (LBP) and Local Ternary Pattern (LBP) based palmprint identification method is proposed. In our method, LBP or LTP descriptor is applied to the energy or direction representations of palmprint extracted by the modified finite radon transformation (MFRAT). Experimental results obtained from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) Palmprint Database demonstrate that the proposed method has higher identification rates than other LBP based methods.
