Embodiments include methods, devices, software, and systems for identifying a person based on relatively permanent pigmented or vascular skin mark (RPPVSM) patterns in images. Locations of RPPVSMs in different images of people are point matched, and a correspondence probability that the point matched RPPVSMs are from different people is calculated. Other embodiments are also described. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Use of relatively permanent pigmented or vascular skin mark patterns in images for personal identification

The present invention is directed to a method of determining vein patterns from a color image for personal identification, the method comprising forming a counterpart of the color image by applying a functional relationship obtained from optimization on the color image, wherein the counterpart of the color image comprises the vein patterns. An apparatus for determining vein patterns from a color image is also disclosed.

Method and an apparatus for determining vein patterns from a colour image

Method and apparatus for image generation from biometric data is disclosed herein. In a described embodiment, the biometric data is in the form of IrisCode and the method comprises constructing a graph of filter responses and bits which define the biometric data; comparing the bits with corresponding bits of reference graphs of a trained database to obtain an optimal graph; updating the filter responses based on the optimal graph; and decompressing the IrisCode based on the updated filter responses to generate an image. The image may be a reconstruction of an original image which is defined by the IrisCode.
