description Finger vein recognition is a promising biometric technology that has received significant research attention. However, most of the existing works often relied on a single feature, which failed to fully exploit the discriminative information in finger vein images, and therefore led to a limited recognition performance. To overcome this limitation, this paper proposes an encoding coefficient similarity-based multifeature sparse representation method for finger vein recognition. The proposed method not only uses multiple features to extract comprehensive information from finger vein images, but also obtains more discriminative information through constraints in the objective function. The sparsity constraint retains the key information of each feature, and the similarity constraint explores the shared information among the features. Furthermore, the proposed method is capable of fusing all kinds of features, not limited to specific ones. The optimization problem of the proposed method is efficiently solved using the alternating direction multiplier method algorithm. Experimental results on two public finger vein databases HKPU-FV and SDU-FV show that the proposed method achieves good recognition performance.
