Abstract
In biometric identification systems, the identity corresponding to the query image is determined by comparing it against all images in the database. This exhaustive matching process increases the response time and the number of false positives of the system; therefore, an effective mechanism is essential to select a small collection of candidates to which the actual matching process is applied. This paper presents an efficient indexing algorithm for vein pattern databases to improve the search speed and accuracy of identification. In this work, we generate a binary code for each image using texture information. A hierarchical decomposition of Delaunay triangulation based approach for minutiae is proposed and used with binary code to narrow down the search space of the database. Experiments are conducted on two vein pattern databases, and the results show that, while maintaining 100% Hit Rate, the proposed method achieves lower penetration rate than what existing methods achieve.
