The discrete cosine transform is a classical image processing technique, and the discriminant analysis is a commonly used image feature extraction technique. These two techniques are effectively combined in the paper, and a new palmprint feature extraction approach is proposed. After performing discrete cosine transform on the palmprint images, the proposed approach first uses a two-dimensional separability judgment to select the frequency bands with favorable separability. Then from the selected bands, it extracts the discriminant features by using an improved Fisherface method. The experimental results on the public palmprint image database demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
