英文摘要：

Based on the spectral characteristics of palmprint images, we presented an automatic method for selecting the direction. Specifically, the Fourier spectrum of palmprint image is mapped to polar coordinates domain, then the peak of spectrum on the projection axis is analyzed and calculated, at last the direction parameters of Gabor filter is obtained. Experimental result shows that this method improve the recognition rate of palmprint images and that the algorithm is simply achieved.
