A Palmprint Verification System Based on Phase Congruency Features

The paper presents a fully automatic palmprint verification system which uses 2D phase congruency to extract line features from a palmprint image and subsequently performs linear discriminant analysis on the computed line features to represent them in a more compact manner. The system was trained and tested on a database of 200 people (2000 hand images) and achieved a false acceptance rate (FAR) of 0.26%
