Orientation feature is one of the most important features of palmprint images. At present, palmprint recognition methods based on orientation features have achieved promising recognition performance. However, most of these methods neglect the relationships between the orientation features, which can not effectively describe the structure of palm lines, and are sensitive to the translation and rotation. In this paper, a palmprint recognition method based on threeorientation joint features is proposed. Firstly, Gabor filter is adopted to extract the orientation features. Secondly, by analyzing the characteristics of palm lines, two sets of feature vectors are constructed by using three orientation features, which are maximum and two minimum orientation. Finally, the weighted Manhattan distance metric is used to measure the similarity between two palms. Further, in order to improve the recognition performance, a feature fusion scheme is proposed for fusing different features obtained from multispectral palmprints. Experiments on PolyU MSpalmprint Database demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve better recognition accuracy than some state-of-the-art methods.
