Palmprint Enhancement Using Discrete Curvelet Transform
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a novel approach for enhancing palmprint image. Enhancement is a preprocessing step used to modify the contrast of the image and remove the noise. Traditional Histogram equalization techniques improve the contrast of the image but introduce spurious noise. Palmprint consists of fine features. In order to extract fine features from the palmprint image, enhancement has to be done. Fine features in the palmprint increases the accuracy of palmprint recognition. This paper provides enhancement based on curvelet which preserves the fine features without introducing noise. This method is applied for 100 test cases. Comparing with the histogram equalization techniques curvelet gives better result in the presence of noise. The experiment result shows high PSNR (Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio ) value for the Curvelet method.

Palmprint Feature Extraction Based on Curvelet Transform
An approach of palmprint feature extraction based on the second frequency band curvelet coefficients is proposed in this paper. As we all know, the veins of the palmprint are the important factors to recognize the palmprint. Because curvelet transform can effectively presents the lines and curvilinear structure, we perform the curvelet transform to the palmprint image. By analyzing the features...
