A single sample biometric recognition approach is proposed based on the feature level and curvelet transform of the second-generation to improve the recognition rate of the single modal biometric system in application. Two kinds of biometric features are used. These are the palm-print feature and the face feature. All image samples are normalized and decomposed using the combination of curvelet & wavelet transform. Then the normalized curvelet & wavelet-transformed face and palm-print features are combined at the feature fusion level. The K-NN classifier is used to determine the final biometric classification
and then the recognition results are reported. The experimental results show that the proposed approach has better performance than the single modal solution: the best average recognition rate is improved to 92.40%
and the recognition rate is improved by 35.38% and 8.92% compared with single face feature and single palm-print feature respectively.
