A novel multispectral palmprint recognition method is proposed based on multiclass projection extreme learning machine (MPELM) and digital shearlet transform. Extreme learning machine (ELM) is a novel and efficient learning machine based on the generalized single-hidden-layer feedforward networks, which performs well in classification applications. Many researchers’ experimental results have shown the superiority of ELM with classical algorithm: support vector machine (SVM). To further improve the performance of multispectral palmprint recognition method, we propose a novel method based on MPELM in this paper. Firstly, all palmprint images are preprocessed by David Zhang’s method. Then, we use image fusion method based on fast digital shearlet transform to fuse the multispectral palmprint images. At last, we use the proposed MPELM classifier to determine the final multispectral palmprint classification. The experimental results demonstrate the superiority of multispectral fusion to each single spectrum, and the proposed MPELM-based method outperforms the SVM-based and ELM-based methods. The proposed method is also suitable for other biometric applications and gets to be work well.
