Abstract
This paper introduces a new method for fusing palmprint and palmvein. The focus of image fusion is placed on the application of neurodynamics of vision models, and the characteristics of the bimodal cells of rattlesnakes are researched. An image acquisition device which can collect palmprint and palmvein images in the same position and at the same time is deviced, and a small palmprint and palmvein database is built by this device. Some experiments have been done to evaluate this fusion method on the palmprint and palmvein database.
