This paper introduces a new technique for palmprint recognition based on Fisher Linear Discriminant Analysis (FLDA) and Gabor filter bank. This method involves convolving a palmprint image with a bank of Gabor filters at different scales and rotations for robust palmprint features extraction. Once these features are extracted, FLDA is applied for dimensionality reduction and class separability. Since the palmprint features are derived from the principal lines, wrinkles and texture along the palm area. One should carefully consider this fact when selecting the appropriate palm region for the feature extraction process in order to enhance recognition accuracy. To address this problem, an improved region of interest (ROI) extraction algorithm is introduced. This algorithm allows for an efficient extraction of the whole palm area by ignoring all the undesirable parts, such as the fingers and background. Experiments have shown that the proposed method yields attractive performances as evidenced by an Equal Error Rate (EER) of 0.03%.

Print quality (PQ) is most important in the printing industry. To detect and analyze print defects is an effective solution to improve print quality. As the different types of print defects appear in different regions of interest (ROI) in the digital image of a scanned page, extracting the different ROIs helps to detect and analyze the printer defect. This paper proposes a method to extract different ROIs based on the digital image object map [1], which includes three different labels: raster (images or pictures), vector (background and smooth gradient color areas), and symbol (symbols and texts). Our ROI extraction method will extract four kinds of ROIs based on these three labeled objects. So we need to distinguish the background area and smooth gradient color area (color vector) from other vector objects. The process of the ROI extraction method includes four parts; and each part will extract one kind of ROI. For the color vector and background ROI extraction part, we develop two approaches: one is to obtain the maximum area rectangular ROI; and the other approach is to extract the deepest rectangular ROI. With both of these two methods, we use a greedy algorithm to gather additional useful ROIs. In the final result of the ROI extraction process, we only save the left top and right bottom positions for each ROI. In the end, we design a Matlab GUI Tool and label the ROI ground truth manually. We calculate the intersection over union (IoU)) between the ROI extraction result and the ROI manually labeled ground truth to evaluate our ROI extraction algorithm, and check whether it is good enough to crop different ROIs from the image of the scanned page to detect and analyze print defects.

To carry out an effective recognition for palmprint, this paper presents an algorithm of image segmentation of region of interest (ROI), extracts the ROI of a palmprint image and studies the composing features of palmprint. This paper constructs a coordinate by making use of characteristic points in the palm geometric contour, improves the algorithm of ROI extraction and provides a positioning method of ROI. Moreover, this paper uses the wavelet transform to divide up ROI, extracts the energy feature of wavelet, gives an approach of matching and recognition to improve the correctness and efficiency of existing main recognition approaches, and compares it with existing main approaches of palmprint recognition by experiments. The experiment results show that the approach in this paper has the better recognition effect, the faster matching speed, and the higher recognition rate which is improved averagely by 2.69% than those of the main recognition approaches.
