Abstract Centerline of nose is extracted by Hessian matrix parameters to segment the matched region. Direction of gradient and eigenvector corresponding to the largest eigenvalue are combined to detect nose pore. The proposed method achieves an identification correct rate of 88.07% on a database of 103 persons. The experimental results show that nose pore feature can be used as one of the most efficient biometric features in recognition.
