Abstract

The sparse representation can deal with the lack of sample problem due to utilizing of all the training samples. However, the discrimination ability will degrade when more training samples are used for representation. We propose a novel appearance-based palmprint recognition method. We aim to find a compromise between the discrimination ability and the lack of sample problem so as to obtain a proper representation scheme. Under the assumption that the test sample can be well represented by a linear combination of a certain number of training samples, we first select the representative training samples according to the contributions of the samples. Then we further refine the training samples by an iteration procedure, excluding the training sample with the least contribution to the test sample for each time. Experiments on PolyU multispectral palmprint database and two-dimensional and three-dimensional palmprint database show that the proposed method outperforms the conventional appearance-based palmprint recognition methods. Moreover, we also explore and find out the principle of the usage for the key parameters in the proposed algorithm, which facilitates to obtain high-recognition accuracy.
