This document describes a proposed system for joint palmprint and palmvein verification using dual competitive coding. The system aims to achieve higher accuracy for biometric authentication by fusing palmprint and palmvein features. Palmprint features would be extracted using texture coding while palmvein features use matched filters. A dual competitive coding scheme is proposed to encode both palm line and vein structures. The system is intended for real-time verification and aims to improve over existing biometric technologies such as fingerprints.
