| Title: | Hand-geometry recognition using entropy-based discretization | Authors: | Pathak, AK Zhang, DD |
Issue Date: | Jun-2007 | Source: | IEEE transactions on information forensics and security, June 2007, v. 2, no. 2, p. 181-187 | Abstract: | The hand-geometry-based recognition systems proposed in the literature have not yet exploited user-specific dependencies in the feature-level representation. We investigate the possibilities to improve the performance of the existing hand-geometry systems using the discretization of extracted features. This paper proposes employing discretization of hand-geometry features, using entropy-based heuristics, to achieve the performance improvement. The performance improvement due to the unsupervised and supervised discretization schemes is compared on a variety of classifiers: k-NN, naïve Bayes, SVM, and FFN. Our experimental results on the database of 100 users achieve significant improvement in the recognition accuracy and confirm the usefulness of discretization in hand-geometry-based systems. | Keywords: | Biometrics Feature discretization Feature representation Hand geometry Personal recognition |
